Autodesk inventor VS pro engineer

We have been running pro engineer and pro manufacturing for a number of years. We are on WF2.0 as well as using intralink. One of our bigger customers runs autodesk inventor for their cad system. Other than the "FEA" etc... what is the difference between the programs. Im looking for pros and cons. I do not think that we will be ching to autodesk but woiuld like to know from "users" how they compare for modeling, assembling, drawings, BOM's etc.
