I think a lot of users are missing the point. I don't see this tool as a final decision maker and it can never be one. The final decision has a lot of nuisances to that it is difficult to capture in one tool, so might as well just open a spreadsheet and bang it out.
I see this tool as a quick a simple way to eliminate all the tools that might look shiny and slick or save a few clicks, but doesn't actually save employee's time at all.
So the decision becomes, I like the way this new SaaS feels or looks than our current one, but is it really worth the additional cost?

Exactly, and scale is important too. The initial target audience was small (as in very small, maybe 1-10 people) businesses, whose owners often don't intuitively understand how beneficial small services costs can be.
