Both these two programs seem to be pretty comprehensive, but I can't find
any comclusive reviews that would let me determine if one is significantly
better than the other.

What is the collective experience here regarding the merits of Registry
Mechanic and/or Registry Cleaner? they would be used now on WIN2Ksp4 and
perhaps later on Vista.

Thanks.

There is a third alternative: Don't use either. At best, registry
cleaners make no difference to the performance of a machine.
People who install them get a warm feeling inside but most are
wise enough to refrain from taking out a stop watch to measure
the (non-existant) improvement. At worst they wreck your
installation.
 
I personally use V-Com's "Fix It Pro", and it does a fine job of registry
cleaning, plus a host of other things too. Pricing is similar too.

If you dont know how to clean the registry without resorting to a reg
cleaner you shouldnt be using one - any one.
Using a reg cleaner is the easiest method for the uninitiated to finish up
with a failing or none working system
