Hi Stephan,
I use Prism lite at the moment and will upgrade to the Pro version when funds allow.
Personally, I think it is a nicer package than MaximDl and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. There is a free 80 day trial and the author has put up good tutorial videos up if you want to have a look at Prism in action.
