Electrical Estimating Software vs Excel: Which Is More Efficient for Project Estimates?

Hi,

I do my estimates in excel so far (have a template), but I´d like to try electrical estimating software. Can you tell me from experience if estimating with software is more effective or less time consuming?

I know the efectivity depends mainly on how large my projects are, but I would like your opinion in general.

Thanks

 

Here is a link to an estimating excel template for free (middle of the article).

Found it last month, edited it little, think it is quite good, but still no software.
Looking forward to your reply.
