I haven't heard of Capella, but the following link may be of interest:

Finale and Sibelius, claiming superior features and finished product.

As to scanning plug-ins, they're not available yet, but will be soon - the
program is currently at version 1.5 ( the first one for Wintel boxes - it's
been around a bit longer for Mac ), and V1.6 is apparently not far away.

I've started using it (mainly for choral/vocal arrangements), and so far I'm
impressed, especially with the MIDI playback feature. MIDI-file importing is
also handled very well. YMMV.
