[amibroker] Quotes Plus Data in AmiBroker

Hi,
 
I currently use Telechart Data.   The good news is that the data seems pretty clean, it is managed historically and it seems to have a good Sector/Industry hierarchy with Sector and Industry composite symbols.  The bad news is that the Telechart database is supposed to be slower and only two fields are exposed to AB in the Telechart API.
 
So, I'm considering switching to Quotes Plus.   I'm seeking feedback...
 
- Generally, how has your experience been?  Happy?  Unhappy?  Would you choose them again?
 
- Is the EOD data managed historically?  I.e., when a split occurs, is it handled correctly?  Do you have to manage the data yourself?  
 
- Regarding Sector and Industry hierarchies, from the website, it looks like they have sector and industry data.   But...
--- Are all symbols in QP3 mapped to an Industry? 
--- Are all Industries mapped to a Sector?  
--- Does QP3 provide composite Sector Industry symbols that can be scanned and charted like any other symbol? 
--- In AB, can you scan for all symbols for a chosen Sector or Industry?
--- Are there any QP3 Sector/Industry limitations compared to Telechart?
 
- On the QP website, it says that they provide 200 data elements besides price and volume (EPS, PEG, % Institutional ownership, etc.).  However, on the AB "GETEXTRADATA" function page, it only lists about 25 data elements that can be retrieved.   Does the "GETEXTRADATA" page not reflect the changes in QP3?  Are there QP data elements not exposed in the API?  
 
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
 
Best regards,
 
Dan.
