Jeff,

Here at REI we have used Turnover from Softlanding systems for the past
7+ years.  Turnover is a very flexible, I cannot comment on the other
products.  When we originally bought Turnover it was signifcantly less
expensive then the others.  The tech support has been excellent. 
Whenever we have a problem they are helpful and very quick to fix
problems with their program.
                
We have about 40 AS/400 developers on 1 development system and
distribute to 3 production AS/400s.  I am sure that we have saved
hundreds of hours over the years using Turnover.  It does a great job
with tracking source and who is working on what.  It handles making sure
that an objects attributes are retained, along with authorities and many
other features.
        
Softlanding has used us in the past as a reference.  We have had a very
positive experience over the years with Turnover and that is why I am so
positive about it.  If you have any specific questions feel free to
e-mail me.
