I havent personally used WL but I do have an account with Tradestation. I love Tradestation 7 sw and plan to stay with them for the forseeable future.. If I need to extend it I know I can get addons such as Rina etc... I dont know what you want to do exactly with the montecarlo but have seen some almost free Monte Carlo on the Net. Some of the stuff that TS have added and are continuing to add are pretty awesome. I am happy. Splat
I think you have a point - that WL does tend to set the trend in most (BUT NOT ALL) areas. But you've got to admit that Amibroker does a sterling job of keeping pace with WL at an extremely reasonable price. disclaimer - i own neither WL nor AB, but will very likely get a copy of AB before the end of the year, unless ofcourse WL does a 50% OFF Xmas sale.
