We use FormServer as well (was here long before I started). What keeps us
on it (other than we are paying on a multitude of banks and accounts, which
it handles) is the built in features for automation equipment like Pitney
Bowes equipment to sort, merge, fold, stuff. It's a workhorse. I agree it is
cumbersome in the data mapping.
I've used some of the other products - do take your toughest forms and make
them prove it can handle what you need (or get enough of a trial to do your
own due diligence). I am surprised sometimes in some newer products with
"well you can't do that...". Also, some are win/other servers and may lack
control over single page or range of pages printing, reprint from last month
end spools, plus the complexity of managing another server for a service
that has to always be there.
If you are participating in US Postal (or other) programs make sure the
newer barcode and labelling requirements are supported.

Subject: Forms printing (checks) software
We are using an application named FormServer to marry a spool file of checks
created by our ERP system to an AFP overlay of the check and produce a
finished spooled file for MICR printing. It works but the process for
changing the "mapping" of the original spooled file to the overlay and
adding page segments, etc. is cumbersome.
I'm interested in knowing what software others are using and would recommend
for this type of special forms printing.
TIA,
BJ
