People who take the time to gather information before making a
decision deserve respect. There are few like you who understand that
they will learn even from languages they finally dismiss.
I also evaluated Eiffel, and was impressed with it, before I finally
decided I liked Ada better because Ada does not force object-oriented
formalisms on those who don't need them, has more composition
mechanisms than just inheritance, and provides range checking in the
type system rather than contracts. YMMV. Good luck with your
evaluation.
