Finale 2008 or Sibelius 5 Professional & PhotoScore?

Question by Satan: Finale 2008 or Sibelius 5 Professional & PhotoScore?
Which one works better? I tried Finale, and the trial version froze up once and a while, and won’t always play back the music, and I’m having second thoughts of buying it when I heard of Sibelius. I’m going to try the trial soon, but I’m wondering if Sibelius works with MIDI keyboards, it didn’t say in the FAQ. I’m also wondering which “music reading/scanning” program works best, Finale or PhotoScore Ultimate.

Does Finale have a feature to post/sell your music online? Does Sibelius allow you to add “human playback” or something like that? When importing a MIDI files, does Sibelius get all the tempo changes, and not just resets the tempo to 120 throught the whole peice like Finale? Does sibelius allow you to save you files to wav or mp3?

Thank you in advance for answering these questions.

To all your questions, the answers are Yes. Though I’m not sure if you can change it to .wav format. Sibelius has a better user interface but mine can’t play any sounds though.
