Printergy vs. PressReady

[JayB]

I need some help here...
Has anyone worked with or looked at this Heidelberg product?
We are stuck in the Brisque 4.1/F50 world (Can't upgrade to 5) awaiting an upgrade workflow. I feel Printergy is the best system for us as a company and gives a foundation to grow our business (Comercial Printing).

We just made a purchase of 2 Presses from Heidelberg with this they introduced their workflow to our upper management and owners... I went to demo PressReady and it looked like a decent workflow but kind of more like Printergy EVO. Is this a correct assumption??? Without blabing on and on about how much I know about each product... What if any major benefits have any of you found in your reviewing these products...

We also own Upfront... and Veris... these would become useless.

What can you tell me???
P.S. also looking at iGEN vs. HP Indigo 5000. (some other session)
Thanks! Jay

I'm a 10-year scitex veteran who moved from a Brisque5 environment to Prinergy in another shop. Very impressive, love the pdf workflow, obviously more futuristic and flexible than the ct/lw formats. Nice preview for seeing the backups of your signatures on screen. Great for retrieving the refined pdfs for future reprints. I got the hang of it within a few jobs, although there are still tons of settings to explore. We output to a Veris from Prinergy.
