Imaris is good. Do not forget it can talk to Fiji, Python and Matlab

Thanks for all the responses, the general feeling seems to be that Imaris is a bit too 
expensive, and support isn't as good as it should be. Fortunately our current license is good 
for another month, so I'll upgrade to version 8 then let the maintenance lapse. I could of 
course just get maintenance for the most heavily used modules, which would be 
considerable cheaper, but the consensus does seem to be that the support you get isn't 
worth it. What a shame as my initial impression using the software is that it's a very useful 
tool.
thanks again,
Dale
