In the realm of functonality, I don't see that there is any particular 
advantage to Accordance over the Logos format which I tend to favor.  The one 
area of functionality which I think is a plus for Accordance is the ability 
to create your own user tools.  There is hope, however, that this will soon 
be possible with Libronix (the Logos version).  There are also some resources 
available for Accordance which are not in Logos format though there are also 
resources available in Logos which are not available for Accordance.  For 
Accordance there are certain Jewish sources which are not yet available in 
Logos.  For Logos there is in process an unabridged LSJ. I'm sure one could 
find many such examples on either side.  I really think that only one who has 
used both formats in a recent version could comment on this.  I might note, 
however, that Logos is adding resources at an almost dizzying rate.  By using 
an emulator program you are going to lose some performance.  If you have a 
MAC there is probably no question which you would choose though you could 
probably run Libronix (again, the engine that runs the Logos books) under 
OSX.
