Since PDFs are basically postscript, and Finale's display, I guess, is also a kind of postscript, this should be solved easily. Finale's superior fine tuning possibilities (like the possibility to adjust the thickness of staff lines) has its ups, on the other hand drawing the lines as hairlines would solve the PDF displaying badly on screens.
Defaults - Sibelius has much better defaults for formatting and display, I guess. And that is what people want. It is nice that in Finale we are able to fine-tune everything - BUT this should not be necessary as often...
