MSE Vs Symantec AV Corporate Edition

Looking for opinions/comparisons of the two products.  We have been a Symantec AV Corporate Edition house for the past five years and overall, the product has performed well along with it's anti-spam and mail sercurity components we use.  

MSE, has been suggested (by a middle schooler son of a staff member of influence).  After taking a very cursory look, it seems as though Microsoft is finnally getting into the game but I'm a little brand loyal (to Symantec) admittedly given it's overall track record, maturity and lineage.

But I also see Microsoft is offering MSE for free AND a centralized management system with it's Microsoft Forefront Client Security offering.  Anybody have any opinions/thoughts?  

Points will be shared across first/best responders.  Thanks.

xmachine thanks - re: your question "why don't you give "Symantec Endpoint Protection" a try" - my guess is that the licensing will cost (unless that's the name of the newer "corporate edition" product.  I think we may have actually tried it at one point only to discover that the management piece was gargantuan..  Correct me if I'm wrong though please and thanks again.

PerisherIT: No I haven't.

Interestingly - not many plugs for Microsoft's AV product yet...  Hmmm...
