I started with the Lite, then upgraded. I love it for the inventory running totals. And the cost/item. If I had one complaint, it would be the lack of fatty acid profiles on soapcalc. You can get around it by understanding the link to bar:fa characteristics. But when your experience doesn't support those ratios, it makes it harder to customize the formula. But, that is just one component. And the rest of the program so much makes up for it!
