Hey Matthew!

Thanks for the explanation. After getting this info, I still believe
that For my uses, NM would probably be better suited to my needs. 

I regularly jump around to a lot of different networks, and having to
re-enter all those PWs would get to be a real pain... especially since I
use very long, difficult passwords on my network...

still...choice is good!
