    David,I have not purchased Home Designer yet though the price certainly interests me.
    thanks. Do you think the program is usable for nice presentations to clients?
    Yes, I have used Chief Premier for over 18 years for this particular purpose. It is a matter of opinion depending upon what you consider is acceptable presentations of course, Home Designer Pro is a steal for the price but does not do photo-realistic renderings though most clients find their Open GL renderings quite acceptable.

    Can drawings be printed in a D or E size?
    Home Designer Pro is limited to Architectural "C" (18" x 24") paper, Chief Premier natively prints to any physical paper size up to billboard size.

    The best always comes with a higher price.

    Software doesn't "do" anything by itself, the renderings shown on the Home Designer and Chief Architect websites are done using this software but what they also show is the personal skill of the end-users who took the time to totally master their skills to help them produce such products. It requires dedicated study, practice and attention to detail to bring about quality.
