We also compared svn to perforce. We liked perforce for it`s tools and speed, especially diff/merge. But in the end, we thought that the certainly good features of Perforce do not justify the EUROs necessary to buy it. And SVN -compared to the average open source project- has excellent documentation and good community support.
