Electromagnetic CAD Software

     This may be a bit off topic for this list, but I thought here would be
     a good place to start.
     
     We are considering purchasing an electromagnetic CAD package for the
     purpose of designing waveguide components such as horns, junctions,
     polarizers, etc. and would like to know what is available and how the
     different packages compare. I am aware of the Hewlett-Packard High
     Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) package and the MAFIA package
     from CST in Germany.
     
     What other packages should we consider?
     
     What are your experiences (good or bad) with these packages?
     
     Where else might I go to obtain information?
     
     
     Thanks for any information.
