Alternative to Blackbaud's Financial Edge?

We are a 250-student boarding/day secondary school and currently use
Blackbaud's Financial Edge. With our current software losing support at
the end of 2007, we are searching out what alternatives folks might
suggest to the expensive "upgrade" that Blackbaud is requiring.

1. If you have a product that you like and wouldn't mind sharing
that info with me, please contact me off the listserv (ahamel@fvs.edu)
with details.
2. If you use the same product and has already done the conversion
to the upgrade, could you share your experience with me?
3. Would anyone recommend retaining the product and seeking someone
outside Blackbaud to cover the support? We have been referred to
ex-Blackbaud employees in the past to answer questions that Blackbaud
support could not and wonder if this might be a viable solution.
Thanks for your support,
Ann
