I could get free version of SC from Optimus, but I also pay for it myself because I want to know that I can do what I want when I want. I run 2-4 copies of SC depending what I am doing, and have no...

In terms of IB, most people say run because their data feed is a POS. While that is true, IB is actually a good execution platform as it does handle all of the instruments, and I can trade multiple...

Rithmic on SC via Optimus is rock solid. There were a couple of issues when they first implemented the API, but SC/Optimus are great to work with.

Depth and bid/ask are two different things. Bid/ask data is usually just the level1 best bid/ask. Depth is calculated from the level2, which is typically not stored, so it is live only.

Agree on high learning curve. You can customize colors per chart, but again it is not obvious. Chart -> Graphic Settings, turn off the use global option, and then you can override for a chart.
