Best Financial/Banking S/W for Personal Use?

Question

As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
I am looking for the following features:
Check Printing
Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
Custom Reports
Memorized Reports
Scheduled Transactions
I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
Sure would appreciate some advice!
Many thanks!

Not sure how much you want to spend, John, and I don't know that all your requested features will be available, but for what it's worth, here's what I've tried (on my iPad/iPhone but these apps are also available for the Mac - I'm still evaluating so I haven't bought the Mac versions yet) which might be useful to you:
1. MoneyWiz - my favourite so far. I can't find the Check Printing feature, and I'm not sure what you mean by "Memorized Transactions" or "Memorized Reports. But there is something called "Duplicate" whereby the Account, Category, Description, Payee and amount are reproduced from a previous transaction entry, but with a new date (the date when the Duplicate entry is created). Memorized Reports - there is the ability to save reports locally within the App (so that you can view it again within the app), but it doesn't memorize, say, your wanting to create a report for accounts 1, 3 and 4 (but excluding 2 and 5) over the period of 20 Feb in year 1 till 19 Feb in year 2, and then reproduce a similar report for those 3 accounts for the period of 20 Feb in year 2 till 19 Feb in year 3. Custom Reports (as in custom date periods) and Scheduled Transactions are no problem.
I like it because it's easy to add expenses and income. Data is presented simply but in an easily accessible manner. Very nice set of 9 different reports possible with your choice of date ranges (including custom). Categories are easy to organise and edit (though icons are a little inadequate). Import options are decent (export is limited only to PDF and CSV though). Handles multi-currency too (I travel to different countries quite frequently so the ability to input expenses in different currencies is quite important).
2. iCompta - I can't find the Check Printing feature, and I'm not sure there are "Memorized Reports" (I don't see any way of even saving the reports). But there is Duplicate for transactions (if that's what your Memorized Transactions means), Custom Reports (custom date periods) and Scheduled Transactions.
This had some good reviews so I was looking forward to it but I have to say I was sorely disappointed. I can't find a way to import data and as far as I can see, it doesn't export data either (or at least, not easily...an .ofx format exported file refused to open in another program). This was a huge let-down as it's advertised as being able to import/export to CSV, QIF and OFX formats, and sync between iphone & ipad via Bonjour. Needless to say, syncing didn't work either. UI is pretty poorly designed and I found it difficult to edit categories and make sub-categories. I felt like I really wasted my money on it.
3. iBank seems to be a full-service, heavy-duty programs capable of handling investments and mortgage accounts. Too much for my needs and too rich for my pocket - it costs SGD75 for the Mac version, SGD19 for the iPad version and yet another SGD6 for the iPhone version...and these are all after a 20% discount during the holiday season. I haven't gotten it cos of the high cost (unnecessary for my needs, I think), but you may find that it's what you're looking for.
Good luck and hope this helps.
