I like how you say "Even the really big dogs..." When you're paying
$1.5kUS for a program, you'd expect it to. But, I think you'll find
most of the people who are right into the high level programs use a
professional converter to do the work for them, such as Right
Hemisphere's 3D Exploration, or Okino's Polytrans.
I'm not taking away from your original point- TS could be a little more
robust in that area, but expecting it to match the big dogs just isn't
realistic.
