I use ER-Win, and it suits my needs very well, but have not used S-Designer. To make a fair evaluation, you might want to take a look at their evaluation copies available for free from their web site. They have the standard edition and one made for use with Powerbuilder. I have downloaded them both, but will not have time to look at them for a while. Good luck.
