Need a new Accounts package...but which?

Hi,

Is there a good comparison of currently available accounts packages available anywhere? I'm sure somebody else has already done the piece of work that I'm trying to avoid :-)

To upgrade our current accounts pacakge is going to be so onerous, we've decided to look at what else is available.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to investigate/avoid? Thanks,

Medici
