Summary: MCe/MCxLE is a family of applications that has several modules. MCe is designed to run with good as well as flakey and non-existent (offline) internet. MC Express is designed for those locations where you always have perfect internet access. Only you know what quality of WiFi and cell phone reception you have. But if you have any problems with your connectivity or performance MCe/MCxLE is designed to help you out, and it is only slightly more expensive than MC Express and comes with more than 15 year’s experience knowing how to intelligently handle offline caching of data. MCe/MCxLE has a lot more benefits over alternatives as shown in this chart.
