On the other hand, some MIDI files convert extremely well and can save
hours and hours of work inputting music.

Yes, and the process can be made even more accurate if several things
are done:
1) the midi file is quantized in a sequencer program -- PowerTracksPro
is a very inexpensive sequencer from www.pgmusic.com which can do this.
The quantization needs to be done to a level where notational accuracy
can be gotten, even if the actual sound of the midi file isn't what is
desired. Such as removing the swing from a jazz file, and quantizing to
8th notes.
2) the quantization settings in Finale match those used in step 1, so
that Finale will know how to deal with the data it will find in the midi
file. Since Finale shouldn't have to actually apply any quantization to
the file (assuming that step 1 was done), it won't have a chance to
screw things up.
Not all midi files will work this way, such as midi files with complex
rhythms (nested tuplets, etc.) but for a lot of music, this can help the
import function.
Then listen to playback and you should be able to spot (and thus fix)
any problems.
