I appreciate your comments and think that the idea of a step between wireframes and prototypes could be really helpful. The trick will be to follow the Goldilocks Way: not too complex, not too simplistic, but yielding just the right of information.

I am very much looking forward to trying it. I have to admit there team or at least the members I meet are constantly trying to improve there product and looking for user input. Not many companies do that and the ones which do are usually very successfull. I think my argument is less about the products and more about the methodology/process of prototyping/wireframing. I was just surprised when I tried out both wireframing tools to find out they did not allow more info to be inserted, that is not the products fault but the methodologies. I just wanted to express my view to maybe open up people's eyes to another view and get opinions on mine.
