Question : Problem: SMS or Systems Center?

I'm in a position where I need to decide weather to roll out Systems Center Ops Manager and Config Manager or go with the tried and true SMS and MOM. This company will be rolling out vista and server 2008 at the same time, so I'm inclined to think Systems Center would be the way to go. However, I played with SC Essentials and found it riddled with bugs and problems and SLOWWW.

Has anyone who's well versed in SMS and MOM tried the new Systems Center pairing and have any feedback? Should I go with the new and forget about the tried and true?

Any input is much appreciated.

Thanks!!

SC essentials is not a good release.... stick with full versions (ie SCCM and SCOM) and put in a bit of effort to learn them  - and you will find they are very powerful tools.
