Is BimUp 5D As Good as it Appears?

Plusspec,

I was chosen to find out what software to use for BIM.
At the office I work everyone was telling me about Revit and that's the program we have to use. I want to show them that it's possible with SU.
But still have a lot of questions.

What about manufacturers in Europe (The Netherlands).
I want to create my own profiles for the windows/doors, is that possible? We do a lot of restoration projects and nothing is standard.
Same with the walls.
If A builder uses the exported IFC file (from SU) can he continue with that file (in REVIT, Archicad etc.), can he extract quantities from the objects, time schedule etc. etc. and does 3rth parties like a constructor (structural engineer) can use/adjust the model for their proceedings.
When I make a window is it possible to tag that window (automatically), and I want to use them to make a window plan with the windows separately in front view/plan view/section (see attachment). Is this possible?
Room tags with area information (m2 and m3).
Translation in Dutch. Is there a translation or can we do that our selfs.
Does someone in The Netherlands already make use of Plusspec? Is there a way to contact them or are they on the forum.
Line thickness, will that be implemented with LOD?
Is section pattern (like Skalp) possible for all the elements like wall, framing, structural concrete etc. etc.
When I buy a license, how is the updating process arranged. Is it a 1 time investment or does it come with a maintenance (like SU). It's not very clear on the site, only $795,-

Okay I think this is it for the moment. But I just got the trial so there will be more questions.
