Revit Suite is Revit MEP and AutoCAD MEP. Last time we got it, it was only
$100 more for the suite...so you get both products. Well worth it. The move
seems to be on to Revit.

Hi I am trying to decide which program is the best for me to purchase. I
would like to produce 3-D drawings of MEP projects, but I would like the
learning curve to be as smooth as possible. I have used AutoCAD for over 7
years I have used AutoCAD MEP 07, but only for a brief time and enjoyed the
program very much. I am trying to figure out the big difference between the
2 programs. I have taken a look at both of the programs and read all the
write ups that I could find to try and figure out the best one for me. To me
it looks like AutoCAD MEP is setup more like regular AutoCAD, and the
Autodesk Revit MEP Suite looks more like a microstation program it doesn't
look like it has a command line. I do just about all of my commands on the
command line, as well as scripts and custom buttons. I do not see that being
possible with the Revit MEP and to me it looks like the learning curve is
going to be less with the MEP. I did read that the Revit MEP Suite is a
combination of both Revit MEP and MEP. If this is true then is it possible
to switch the look and add the command line and run it this way instead of
the default settings. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I
thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give me to at least
point me in the right direction. I was also if there is any way that I could
find a free trial for AutoCAD MEP some were so that I can compare the 2
myself to find out which program would be best suited for me. Once again
thank you for your time, and hope someone can help me out in this decision.
