It appears that Profwiz supplies the same features as Transwiz on top of doing more complex domain migrations. Is there any advantage or difference to using Transwiz over Profwiz?

User Profile Wizard and Transwiz do two different jobs. User Profile Wizard is our workstation domain migration tool. It does not move, copy or delete any data. Instead it configures the existing profile “in place” so that it can be used by the user’s new account. This makes the migration process both very fast and very safe.

Transwiz is our tool for transferring a user profile to a new machine. Transwiz works by backing up the user profile to a transfer file that you can then restore on another machine.
