Could you say more about this?  I like Eagle, and Pad2Pad's instant 
price quote is very cool to play around with - plus, $37.70 for two 5" x 
3.5" bare-bones boards seems like the cheapest price I've heard of for a 
prototype.

So are you saying you use Eagle for the schematic, do the board layout 
in Pad2Pad, and use the netlist import as the bridge between them?  I 
like Eagle's autorouter and the way it makes ground planes easily using 
polygons, so it would be sad to throw those away... but maybe they're 
not critical features.
