I'm also looking at this program too. I just downloaded the manual for the 2.1 FlashCut version. It looks like it will handle my 4 major requirements.
1) 4 Axis simultaneous motion.
2) Homing to machine coord. (G53)
3) Fixture offsets (G54-G59)
4) Tool length compensation in Z (G43)
The pulse rate looks good as well. My 3D tool paths are getting too complicated for the controllers I have now. Even Mach 2.
