Revolution vs. MetaCard

My company is currently looking at several development
tools to use for developing a reading comprehension
program for elementary age students.  The program
consists of several levels of stories that the student
must interact with in different ways.  There is also a
teacher management portion that the teachers use to
administer tests and track student progress throughout
the course.  A full reporting system is a must.

Anyway, I have been seriously looking at Revolution,
as I'm sure it would do the job for us, but then I
heard mention of MetaCard, which sounds like almost
exactly the same thing.  So my question is, what's the
differency between the two?  Is one better than the
other?  Does someone have something that compares the
two?  Maybe a white paper or something like that?  Is
one easier to use than the other?  How about database
access?

I would appreciate any feedback from anyone.

Thank you,

Chris Sheffield
