I had MaxSea with the racing/cruising isochrones. Besides that you need very good polars for your boat which is impossible for a cruiser (I dare you to clean your bottom and be loaded exactly the same without using diesel and water), the sailing weather prediction are abysmal 10% or lower for offshore.
That is not to say that they are not useful for inland races or short Caribbean trips (2 days).
Overall the cruising predictions are going to give you a lot of unrealistic bunny trails. Stick with the rhumb when it makes sense and historical data coupled with weather that you analyze yourself.
