Sure thanks for the detailed feedback. I had just signed up last week and so far, I'm very positive. I haven't used extensively just yet, just setting up things I had on TS. But so far I've noticed the feed is actually more accurate than TS, despite it being from FXCM. As a data feed it's very good as a broker, it's another nasty story.

I shopped around looking for tick charts, it came down to RT Investor and Ensign. I ruled out eSignal because they are expensive when I only wanted forex quotes (it's premium). Ensign price was reasonable and support is actually very good, has its own chat room for support. RT Investor was a bit complicated with their data feed partners.

In the end, I got it down to $39/month vs. $99/month, can't beat that when everything I need is the same from both. I plan to get some of the codes I did on TS and recode them into Ensign. The best part is the videos to get to know the software instead of manuals of text. Great idea!
