Paypal Website Payments Pro vs. Merch Acct + Gateway

Hi all,

Need your experiences with PP payments pro, and your opinions.

I've had a merchant account + gateway for a few years, but the merchant account fees are starting to get ridiculous. Aside from that, I'm happy. They've never tried to jerk me around or withhold funds or anything.

Because of the fees I'm starting to seriously consider PP payments pro, even though I don't really trust PayPal. I'd like to hear your experiences, good and bad, using a Pro account.
