Where can I find good, unbiased comparisons of CAD software?

I work for a very small company that’s considering switching to a new CAD software, so I’m trying to find out as much information as I can. (When I say “small company,” I mean so small that this decision is basically falling entirely in my lap.) I’m basically looking at the big names in CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, proE, Solid Edge) and trying to compare them in terms of price, licensing, features, ease of use, compatibility, etc. We do product design, so good 3D modeling and assembly is our basic need; things like FEA are less important. Our biggest concern is probably price, but we also worry about compatibility (i.e. sending out a Solid Edge file to a manufacturer will probably induce more headaches than the equivalent proE file).

I’d love to hear if anyone knows of any good websites that offer detailed and unbiased reviews (preferably by customers) or if anyone has any opinions of their own they’d like to share. Thanks!

wikipedia usually has pretty good comparisons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_architecture,_engineering_and_construction_%28AEC%29

Maybe not detailed enough, but can definitely help you narrow it down!
