Vulnerability scanners

Greetings list,
 
Yesterday some reps from Qualys came with a sales presentation for
their QualysGuard appliance. I'd like to solicit your comments and
opinions on that product. In particular, do you think it's $45,000 per
year better than Nessus? (That's about the cost we'd face based on our
IP address range.) They claim it costs as much in administration to run
Nessus. Does Qualys' claim to more vulnerability signatures and
faster/easier updates hold water?
 
Any input you can offer is greatly appreciated.
