Question about 4 axis controller software

As some of the group readers know, Vector Cam is available with a rotary axis option. We were recently asked to recommend a controller program to operate a 4th rotary axis, that would work with Vector. Since Vector is very flexible with respect to 4th axis programming, I am not too worried about it working with any particular program, but we usually don't make controller recommendations either. Does any one in the group have any good feedback about any of the programs in use with 4 axis capabilities?
I think Ahha, Microkinetics, Flashcut, and MaxNC control software will all support 4th axis rotary. I'm not too sure about any others. This particular customer is NOT interested in unhooking an axis to get the 4th capability, so a 3 axis only program is NOT an option to him. He (& I ) would appreciate any positive comments from the group.
