I took a look at SyncMate, too. It wanted to change WAY too many contacts and events, so I canceled the sync.
Google's gone mute on syncing contacts with a Desktop app. http://www.google.com/sync/index.html They just discuss Mail and Calendar for the desktop. Apple says if you do enable Sync with Google to do it on only 1 Mac and if you sync to iCloud, it'll turn off the Google sync and don't use both. (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4625) SpanningSync and Google were the only things that let me reliably keep contacts and calendars in sync across 2 Macs, 2 PCs, 2 iOS devices, and 1 Android device. Oh well, that's something I'll have to figure out next week, not this weekend.
