I am in the vote YES column. Our association has used the PC version for two years. We schedule 6,500 games each spring for 200 umpires (HS BB & SB). We have upgraded to the on-version. Twice in the past two years we have re-evaluated Arbiter and reviewed competitor's packages.
For our size of operation, and to meet the members varying demands without resorting to a lot of manual adjustments, in our opinion Arbiter is the Lincoln to the Escorts (with comparable costs).

Edit added:
You will have to buy the on-line version; they are no longer supporting the PC version. But it is worth it. Not only can the assignor make changes on-line, but AD's can update their schedules on-line and umpires can get on-line to view their schedules and change personal data (update contact info, days not available, etc.)
About 85% of our members are wired. We are projecting savings of over $2,000 in reduced postage, paper, printer supplies, fax lines, etc. Of course we had to upgrade from dial-up to broad band, but we still have significant savings despite the increased software costs.
