How do MSC Nastran, nx Nastran, and NE Nastran compare? 2

[semni]

I have come to the conclusion that Nastran is the best FEA solution for my company's needs. Please tell me what you know about the strengths and weaknesses of MSC Nastran versus nx Nastran versus NE Nastran. Some of my areas of interest are:

- Capabilities / Features
- User interface / Ease of use
- Robustness (software bugs)
- Quality of documentation
- Quality of technical support
- Price

In addition, which pre/post processor is the best choice for each one (Patran, FEMAP, or something else).

Can one seriously claim that c$25000 for ANSYS structural is a "better deal" than c$10000 for NE Nastran ? And is the superior robustness of the ANSYS solvers anecdotal or documented ?
