Also, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of work does your shop do?

We have a mix of everything here. Catalogs, sellsheets, business cards, 1-color and up.

If you don't mind, pm me your contact info. We've been calling around to different shops in the area that are using Rampage to get a sense of how they like it. Maybe I could give you a call on Monday or Tuesday to bounce some questions off of you. Especially since you have worked with both. Thanks again.
Here is the problem with Rampage trap, It only looks down to see how it should trap. When it should be looking on what's it touching. I will see if I can dig up some of the problem test files that we had.

If we were strictly an offset shop on paper then we would have been ok since our traps are small. But with offset platic stock and larger silkscreen we can end up with very large traps and a poor trap will show.

The learning curve is much greater on Nexus and with poor support it makes it all that much worse when there is that problem that pop ups, and the job is due out. With Rampage it was easy like you said.

From the sounds of your shop, I would go with Rampage. If Artworks support was like rampage, then their would be no doubt with who I would go with. "Artworks"
