I was dreading filling in the Schengen form by hand at the consulate. It caught a couple of things I had filled in wrongly and explained how to fix them. I submitted on a Tuesday and had my passport back the following Monday. I had friends warn me about common mistakes and none of them showed up here. Definitely better value than the agency that quoted me four times the price. Much cheaper than a travel agent and probably more accurate.
