refactoring

In my department, we are currently using ReSharper 4.0 and deciding whether to upgrade to 4.5 upon its release next week. I personally am a huge fan of ReSharper however a number of my colleagues have pointed out that they have been using a plug in from DevExpress called Refactor Pro that performs similar functionality.

http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/beta.html

Has anyone previously compared these tools and hold any strong views on which tool would give us the greatest increase in productivity and why?

This works well in general, but some bits of code are better formatted manually (eg. because of the indenting rules in ReSharper, things like chained linq methods or… >>> More
