Boson Net Sim for CCNP any good?

I tried doing a search but wasn't able to find anything too concrete. As I prepare to jump into my CCNP studies head on I am trying to really organize what I will be using for study material. Has anybody ever used this for CCNP?
CCNP Network Simulator & Router Simulator | NetSim 8.0

I used the for CCNA edition of this simulator and thought it was very helpful. Granted nothing can beat a real device when configuring. The reason I liked this simulator was it explained the content along with the simulations.

Thoughts?

    I thought the Boson NetSim was pretty good for CCNP.
    The practice exams were great. Especially the one for CCNP TSHOOT.
    I would get the practice exams over the simulators, but both are good.

    Agreed.....GNS3 and Real Gear for labs and EX-SIM MAX for practice questions. Wouldn't bother with the simulator.

    I love the simulator for the exam questions, I just have not ever heard of many people using the lab simulator much.

    I used strictly GNS3 + the ROUTE Lab Manual for the ROUTE exam. Hardware for SWITCH. Not a fan of sims, even Packet Tracer.
