MCE better than powercinema/mediaportal?

[n3x]

I currently use Cyberlinks PowerCinema which i think is the bees knees! It looks very similar to MCE but having never used windows mce can anyone tell me if it would be worth changing to?

I've never used Powercinema, but tried mediaportal a while ago (about 6 months ago) and wasn't impressed. It had some good features but the TV part had a lot of glitches. I use MCE and while sometimes it can be a pain because it's not as configurable as stuff like mediaportal and meedio (is that still going?) the ease of use is second to none.

As long as you have hardware which is certified to work with MCE then everything is extremely easy to set up. The thing that I like is when someone comes round who's never used it before they find it really easy and can use it straightaway.

ive got a feeling they are very similar. I tried mediaportal aswell, it was abit of a mess and very unstable to the point it wouldnt load anymore! powercinema is rock solid and very clean and easy to use, which is nice
