Data Acquisition Tools

As a reasonably long time inRoads Survey user, are there any benefits to me looking into these tools? How do they fit into the greater scheme of things?

I have been very pleased with the flexibility that InRoads Survey offers and make heavy use of the custom codes for placing automated labels with 3D planimetrics. If the intent is to eventually phase out the survey products in favor of Data Acquisition Tools I can only hope that these capabilities are part of those tools.
