I wrote a phone directory report (into PDF) using ReportBuilder for version
1, FastReport for version 2, and back to ReportBuilder for version 3.

While FR did 95% of what I needed, RB went that extra 5% because of its'
object-based design such that I could custom code the last little bit I
needed for fine tuning the report.

RB is an excellent product, and as such, you pay a premium over FR for it.

If you don't have any exotic needs, use FR.

For *everything* else, use RB.
