However, its downfall (and really what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system. 

To be honest, I have been really happy with the person who has been helping me, but there's an issue with capacity because she is a full-time employee somewhere else and I believe a single mom. 

The Midwest has not one thing that is overly amazing, but it scores reasonably well in every single category.
