ARCserve vs Retrospect Server Backup

I've been using ARCserve for many years to backup my NT 4.0 Server and
NT Workstations and long time ago to backup a Novell server. For the
Mac side of things though I've always preferred and used Retrospect. I
prefer Retrospect because it's much easier to install, use and maintain
than ARCserve. Both products have been very reliable though I'd have to
say that Retrospect has proved to be just a little bit more reliable
than ARCserve.
Now I'm finding myself needing to upgrade ARCserve to the new ARCserve
2000. However, I'm thinking I'd really rather drop ARCserve and switch
to Retrospect Server Backup to perform the NT 4.0 Server (and eventually
Windows 200 Server) and NT Workstation backups. Comparing the the two
product's features and supported drives looks to be essentially the same.
Anyone out there with experience using Retrospect Server Backup? I'd
love to get some feedback about it, good or bad. Anyone with a
compelling reason to stick with ARCserve?
