Ask Another Researcher: LexisNexis vs. Pro Platinum

I hope everyone enjoyed the spring conference at Rollins College. Thanks again to Elaine Kessinger and her team for hosting!

Now that we're all back in our offices, hopefully, we'll have some time to answer today's question courtesy of Rebecca Caldwell at Florida Tech:

Greetings APRA-Floridians -
I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me with a resource comparison task. I would like to know who has used LexisNexis and PRO Platinum (by iwave). Which is more cost effective? Time efficient? General thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone and am looking forward to reconvening in the fall. :)

OK, everyone, let's help Rebecca out and post recommendations in the comments!
