Definitely.

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.
