Dear rob, I worked with finale and this app needs a good eye to make a good job with it. You can do really bad engraving with it, there are examples on the web (xcuse, I dont have that under the hand, I dont cultivate this part of my memory).
So finale or sib are definitely not a warranty of a good job. But with some others like capella you will never make the best. Sad to say, the still-standard Score is not even mentionned. But thats a DOS-program, lot of number and abstract values, no mouse support...
