Eric, I have used both Sibelius and Finale. Sibelius is currently faster for me, but I know it somewhat better than Finale---further practice on finale might make it faster for me, on the other hand, further practice might be futile.
I agree that each program will produce different creative results if one composes directly into it, so I should clarify that I'm probalby going to start composing in Cubase and doing a score when the composition is said and done, so I'm specifically wondering about engraving speed.
