Alternatives to Nessus

Has anyone found any good alternatives to Nessus?
I've played around with OpenVAS with their backtrack build, but either
it's not pulling all the plugins, or it's just not as accurate as
Nessus.

Anyone have different experiences with OpenVAS, or know of anything
else I might look at?



Thanks in advance,
Jon
