We sat through live demos of about 5 different CAM programs and settled on OneCNC XR5 for many reasons. We haven't used it extensively yet, but it has a great feature set, pricing, and support. You can PM me about it. I haven't used MasterCAM since version X, which was rather buggy and somewhat painful to use. I've heard it's gotten much better. I tried GibbsCAM years ago and hated it, and I've heard similar stories from others.
