"There is an issue where a PNG will not look exactly the same in IE vrs FF"
Never come across that, have you a reference or example? I have come across something similar with Safari and Photoshop images not blending. But it wasn't png related it was a gamma setting in Photoshop. Brett: PNGgauntlet is freeware: http://brh.numbera.com/software/pnggauntlet/ As is PNGcrush: http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/ If you're not using a decent compressor then png's are 15% - 20% oversized. I'll have to agree to disagree with you on gif file-size being smaller.
