To chime in from the perspective of someone who uses Autocad and needed to expand more into sprinkler design, I chose SprinkCad since I did not need to learn something new in terms of drafting and producing/plotting drawings (just need to use their standards and symbols to start). I also took the initial path of purchasing their rather inexpensive training program which includes an time limited copy of the full program to use which doing the training. For myself, I got the experience of using the program following a well developed series of instructions and was immediately able to put what I learned to good use. Then I got the company to make the full purchase and just continue from there. Well worth the few dollars up front to see if it does what you need before you drop the big bucks.
As an aside, the trainer and Tyco support has been tremendous in helping when I got stuck or made a mistake.
