Happily been using NINA for the last 3yrs! The polar alignment tools alone make it a game changer for me where I can't even see the SCP.

Thanks everyone! That is all really helpful! I thought that there might be a bit of “Ive already paid for SGP, therefore I’m sticking with it”. But regardless, both software look amazing.
Alistair, I also have a SCP obstruction. I just watched a YouTube video on plate solved polar alignment using a plugin with Nina. That technique looks to me by far the quickest and most precise. Some use Synscan, others a Planetarium. I’ve also heard that some polar align with PHD2. They literally tweak polar alignment on a target due East or West such that error decreases lol. So many methods…
