[net.micro.trs-80] Unsure about Operating Systems for Mod 4

	I have recently had a couple of weeks to play around with my Mod 4,
and am now unsure which DOS I should stay with.  Does anyone have any other
info which might prove helpful in my decision???

DOSPLUS 4.0	
	fast.  things work a little quicker
	supports piping, multiple commands per line, 
		command repitition, libraries for hard disk
	supports wild cards
	has helpful support people at Micro-Systems
	variable command switches, more easily understood and abbreviated
	full device independence
	can only spool to memory, not to disk file

TRSDOS 6.??.??
	typeahead
	support of Radio Shack
	slow, takes ages to do things
	cumbersome, commands have to be input using one archaic way
	can spool to file

Does DOSPLUS have a future?  Can the problems I outlined be overcome?
Or is it best to stick with the crowd?
