CAD/CAM packages

(OP)
The company I work for is looking into different CAD/CAM packages out there.  We currently use SolidWorks 2008 for 3-D modeling and our CNC machinist uses Surfcam 2002 for our machining.  We're wanting to phase out the Surfcam package and use a package with feature recognition so that we can easily bring in the 3-D model and create the toolpaths.  The two packages we're looking at are FeatureCAM and EdgeCAM.

I was curious if anyone knew any pros or cons of these two packages?

Thanks!
