Newbie Feedback on Alibre CAM Plugins (Mecsoft \ SprutCam)

I'm looking at Alibre as a lower cost solution (and yes I'm sure not quite as powerful) than the very impressive SolidWorks. I found Mecsoft and SprutCAM make a CAM plugins which appears to be well integrated which I like. I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback on them good or bad.

Maybe you all have a stand alone app you prefer? I'll be using MAch3 for CNC.

Thanks,
