MarsEdit or Ecto?
I’m looking for comments from both MarsEdit and Ecto users.
I would like to be able to pick one or the other for full time WordPress blogging. Make sure when making comments you indicate what service (WordPress) you use with either of these two apps.
They both have good looking interfaces and functionality appears to be similar. So you power users let me and everyone else know what you think.
Please be clear about which app you speak of and if you have comparison stories share those as well.

I use MarsEdit, with WordPress and Blogger.
For me, their Forums rock. The support is great and the Dev is really open to new features/ideas. I remember a thread where someone wondered about adding Tumblr . Since much wasn’t know, Daniel (the Dev), made contact with the Dev’s at Tumblr and posted back why it wouldn’t be possible.
When I was testing MarsEdit, before making the dive, I wanted a way to get my posts from Journler to MarsEdit. One quick post to the their Forum and I got an AppleScript to move my Journler entries into MarsEdit and to my Blog.
Glad I purchased it and have never looked back.

you should check out Blogo http://is.gd/fHx
I also use MacJournal from Mariner Software, although I would agree with Ed that MarsEdit is the premium app there

Kevin, I checked out Blogo but it’s too slimmed down for me and I definitely did not like the way it showed my previous posts in that drawer.
Death to Drawers.
MacJournal doesn’t seem to be on par with MarsEdit and lots of people complained about the lack of documentation.
