Solid works vs. inventor

We are a company mainly operating in mechanical engineering in the
Netherlands (Eindhoven).
We design assembly machines, textile printing machines, production machines
etc. in teams of 2 to 4 people.

In the past we only used autocad.
Currently (the past 3 years) our 3D design tool is solid works (3 licences)
The next step is to get rid off autocad and switch to a 3D design tool (ca.
12 licences)
After some investigation there are 2 programmes left: Solid Works and
inventor.

I have been using inventor 7 for 5 days as a test.
Ofcourse I donnot like it very much because I've been using solid works for
the last 2 years now (it's always hard to use a different tool).

Can you help me to take a good decision. Does anybody has some experience
with both inventor and solid works?
Which one do you like best and what are the advantages compared to
eachother?

Thank you,
Ronnie Eshuis

Ronnie,

You have both at you finger tips. Most of us don't

Your in a much better position to answer your own question than we are.
