[OS X TeX] Equation Services/Equation Editor

Do people here use Equation Services and/or Equation Editor? I'm 
playing around with both, and I find each maddening in its own way. 
(What I want to use them for is to create pdfs of equations to 
drag-and-drop or paste into Omnigraffle.)

With Equation Services, I can't seem to make the "transparent 
background" preference stick. I can set it once, and it works, but then 
if I quit ES, this preference is unset again. This happens if I set the 
preference within ES or if I explicitly edit the plist file in 
~/Library/Preferences. Have other people seen this and is there a 
work-around?

With Equation Editor, there doesn't seem to be any way to set a 
different default font size other than 36 pt. Am I missing something?

Are either or both of these still under development, and/or is there a 
better alternative?
