Three other key factors to look at are:

1) Performance - I have seen benchmarks indicating that not only is ADSM 1/3
faster on backing up data, but it is also 4 times faster on restores!
2) Scalability - ADSM is becoming more and more scalable.
3) Version 3 offers several new enhancements that greatly ease
administration, client restoration, and reporting.

I wish you luck in your battle - as a consultant I wage this war on almost
all my engagements.
