I agree with Bill.  Although PTO has Lacerte under the hood, it has only a 1.5l engine and only a plain vanilla dashboard with few customizable options.  It looks like a Lacerte inside and out but won't drive like one or deliver the horsepower you're used to having.  

Because PTO has Lacerte as its engine, it's still a very capable tax product.  You should take it out for a spin for free; you can prepare and review returns online without needing any credit unless you print or e-file.  You can then decide whether it's sufficient for your needs.

Having said that, the rack rates (even with the early bird discount, which expires at the end of Jun) are much higher than previous years.  The increase makes PTO (which is not Lacerte) a much less compelling offer compared to other tax products.

Bear in mind also it may be difficult for you to migrate from PTO to other tax products in the future.  Intuit does not officially support data export from PTO although we've been told they could migrate data offline to Lacerte.  This means you may be able to purchase an REP license just for migration to other tax products.  And, of course, you loose access to your prior year returns and whatever you have in Link unless you have current year credits.
