I've got a client for an appointment any minute, so analysis point-by-point ain't gonna happen right now. Wouldn't be much use from me anyway, as the feature-set of PIEPlus has never interested me sufficiently to merit installing it. MultiIE offers more advanced tools than any browser plugin I've encountered yet. FtxPBrowser is neat, but also annoyingly limited and sometimes frustrating in use. NetFront, well, I don't like it enough to use it as my main browser, so it sees duty for web banking and such and the odd site which PIE can't open.
