Trouble deciding what "HVAC/Plumb" detailing software to purchase

[gkennedy]

I am the CAD manager of a Design Build Mech Contractor HVAC/Plumb. We are trying to decide on what Detailing software (we are still on AutoCAD 2000 *shock I know* and looking to upgrade) to Purchase I have had demos of: Building Systems (not really Detailing Software), Cad-Pipe/Duct, East-Coast CAD and Quick-pens Mech duct software.

I would love to find some people that have gone through this process and could answer some questions give some feedback/guidance. Any assistance is Greatly Appreciated.
