Stephen,
I have used both and each has it's strength. Both are excellent enhancement for Works.
WorksBetter's advantage is size and the fact that all plug-ins are contained in a single package. The downside is it's all or none. Write Stuff allows you to install only the plug-ins you want/need.
Everything else is closely contested. The Write Stuff interface looks nicer. The 2 Wordcount pkgs return different results with Works Better counting faster. If its any consolation, they're only about 1-2 % off.
I like Worksbetter's Keycaps like feature. Write Stuff's answer is Chart Picker but it does not show the selected fonts. It only shows the System font unlike WB.
You can download WB from SAS for a test drive but you can't with Write Stuff. If you like, I can E-Mail you it's Readme or fax you the Feature list (with snapshots). It's a 2 sheet A4 document.
