How well does GradeQuick work with School Minder?

We're currently evaluating whether to standardize on gradebook software.  (Right now, each teacher uses whatever grade tracking method they prefer.)

Do you believe that any GradeQuick integration/information sharing with SchoolMinder justifies the cost?  If it can handle importing student information from SchoolMinder and exporting back to it grade & attendance information, I think our teachers would be willing to switch to it in a heartbeat.

On a side note... I did recently get Jackson Software's version of GradeQuick running in Linux with WINE.  Though I haven't had much time to really test it, it seems to work okay with WINE.
