Thanks to all who replied, here are the comments I have recieved:

Dear Jennifer,

We've been evaluating Manifold v4.5 and a couple of quick points would be:

1. Price - Manifold at less than $200 wins hands down.
2. Import capabilities - Manifold can import a lot of the usgs data (dlg,
sdts) that MI can't.
3. Good looking output - this is Manifold's real weakness. We need to be
able to put out nice looking maps, on a standard layout, at an exact scale
on a particular size of paper. MapInfo is relatively good at this, although
the non-WYSIWIG aspects are frustrating at times. Manifold is promising this
capability in release 5.0.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Tim

We here would also be interested.  Our product was produced specifically for
MapInfo Software.  We have many customers that do not have it and therefore
lose the sale.

 Hi Listers,

 I am doing some comparative analysis between Map Info and some of their
 competitors, basically for information purposes.  I would be interested to
 hear if anyone else has done this kind of research and what the results
 were.  Thanks.
