Most of the online offerings don't cut it compared to Sage 50, the online offerings suit fairly small simple businesses. Try Cloud 50 if you need hosted Sage.
Horses for courses - for a one person business Free Agent etc may be okay (QuickBooks is actually crap) but for a multi user business of size Sage 50 is still the best.
It is not just the £ cost - got to look into time advantage of integrated software - Sage does the job - get Instant Accs Production and Corporation Tax Lite - prepare accounts (very quick) click export to CT (or business tax module) and in seconds your CT comp is 90% complete.

I am an accountant that uses Sage and FreeAgent. I have an interest in Cloud 50 so not independent - but it works extremely well on Mac or PC.
