Excellent review Eddie.  I agree with it completely.  

MacAddict made Drive Genius a Recommended Product, but I can't figure out 
why.  DG does a lot of things, but by and large there are utilites that 
do each task better than DG, assuming that you even need them.

I would much rather have Disk Warrior than DG for drive repair.

I would rather use iDefrag for defragmentation, as it is more 
sophistocated.

Carbon Copy Cloner is free, and completely adequate for cloning a drive.

I'm not sure that I would ever use a utility to change partitions on the 
fly.  And there are cheaper utilities than DG to do so.
