DIVA vs Honeybee

Hello everybody,

i have a question regarding the two plug in. I'm modelling different shading systems and i'd like to compare them considering the saving in the artificial light using natural one, the daylight condition and the solar gain (for the last variable i think i need also Archsim).

I've already worked with Honeybee while i never tried DIVA, even though some friends suggested me the second one because it's simpler and easier to manage.

Which one between the two do you suggest me, considering that i have also to deal with dynamic shading system? Can you make a short list with prons and cons of the two plug in?

It would be really helpfull for me.
