Definitely.  You should do that.

I've said it before, have said it since Version 1 in the 80s:  Finale 
is a bit more difficult (that is time consuming, not "hard") to 
learn, but it's really easy to USE.  The investment in learning 
Finale pays off in it's power and ease of use.  And since you brought 
it up, there are lots of keypad commands and macros (metatools) that 
have made my life much more manageable, and they pretty much work 
like a charm.

Good luck,
