Finale 2008 saves in MusicXML 1.1 format, so you can take advantage of most of the Sibelius 5.1 improvements in MusicXML import without any additional software. Finale 2007 and earlier save in MusicXML 1.0 format, which is pretty much the feature set that Sibelius 5.0 was already supporting. So you need Dolet 4 for Finale to take advantage of the Sibelius 5.1 improvements when exporting from these earlier Finale versions. The Dolet 4 for Finale plug-in will always give the best results overall. It should be a very noticeable difference for users of 2007 and earlier. For 2008 users, you will mainly notice the difference in page-attached text and graphics support.
