Eric, that's interesting feedback. For my part, I only used a fraction of the functionality Zinc offers and had no issues at all.
I understand the version of Zinc I'm using (v2.5) is a recent release - out of curiosity, is this the version you have found buggy? Steven, I somehow missed mProjector when I was reviewing the options! It looks pretty good. It's interesting that all of these are exactly $299!
