How stable / good is EMPro ? How does it compare to HFSS?

I started a trial of EMPro 12.2011 last week but have not done much with it. Just played a bit. I had to fight the Agilent site to download the manuals - why can't they be included with the software? Why not have one manual, rather than 10-15 of them?

But twice it has give me a pop-up which says it needs to close, and requests I fill in what I was doing when the problem occured. I'm wondering how stable the product is.

How does it compare to HFSS? Not just in stability, but other aspects too. I have found HFSS has crashed more than once too, but EMPro seems less stable to me.

Hello, just checking to see if there is any update for this topic as I share this interest. Also, does anyone know the approximate cost of EMPro? I hear it is significantly less than HFSS and CST, but just want to confirm before formally asking Agilent for this info. Thx.

EMPro 2012.09 is stable compare to older releases
