Personally, I like the navigation in Basic better. The one think I don't like about the navigation in Basic is when a client has a lot of depreciable assets. The way Basic is set up it can be cluttered and a bit difficult to find the thing you are looking for. Other than that, I like the navigation in Basic better than Professional.
Basic has few less options for non-tax-return things (selecting different printers for different things, client letters, etc.)
In Basic the 'find form' and 'where do I enter' are the same, as is all of the actual data-input and worksheets.
But Basic does not have NOLs, MFS splitting or worksheet, lump-sum Social Security, At-Risk limits and probably a few other things that I rarely, if ever, need. But if you need those, you can use Professional on a PPR basis.
On the other hand, how much money will you have if you switch? Is it worth trying to figure out the different navigation, and dealing with a few less options and maybe a few less forms?
