I just downloaded the Trial version of Mira Pro 7 and it seems like a lot of hard work - very similar to AIP4WIn and not even as good as MaxIm DL/CCD. I couldn't see how to use existing catalogues for Photometry it seems like pick a star and self assign a value to it process - but I did only toy with it for an hour or so before giving up.
In the end, I reckon stick with what you know and works for you. I'm comfortable with Canopus

I also have canopus but I found that the routines for transforms were not giving me correct results. I prefer to do it manually so I know that the maths is correct.
As for catalogues with mira- you are probably correct. Mostly any of the large catalogue value aren't accurate enough for transformed photometry and you need to enter standard known values for comparison stars.
