The settings that are giving the most grief are the speeds, it appears the S3D pritnts a LOT slower than Slic3r, but the speeds I see in the program don't make a great deal of sense when I compare them to the settings and the settings in Slic3r... of course this could just be pointing out that my actual problem with slic3r was it was printing too fast

S3D speed settings are in mm per minute rather than mm per second, so you need to multiply your Slic3r settings by 60.

...being extremely picky - tiny bit of stringing between the really small V cuts at the top, but that's ok as it's a very quick needle file removal...
..reducing the minimal travel distance before retraction might make a difference

Thanks for this advice. I just changed this in my settings. What about your speed settings? (Others tab)
yes forgot to note that moment speed (and retraction speed, 45 to 60mm/sec) is also a way to reduce stringing
and bridging, new in latest version, "extra inflation distance", adjust for larger overlap of layers below if bridging fails
oh how I waited for that one, don't you just hate it when the nozzle seems to play tag and miss the post and return with a loop dragging?, what's the point in that? - "come to papa my little spider, do you thing, yesss there a good boy!....just a liiittle bit closer....oh no you don't!, come back here!, you missed it you bastard you! :-)
..ahem, back to boring seriousness..
but please notice my setting is never static, I do save factory files (oh how I love that feature, factory files save everything support, scaling included, so you can make fine adjustment and re-slice the model later) for most models sliced when I think I got the settings just right, but generally, I like to go through every setting before slicing to keep me sharp

I spent some more time with S3Ds settings for my MEndel 3 tri colour and have some success'
When using Slic3er I was having some serious ooze problems, that was leading me to doubt the wisdom of a tri extruder printer
the problem I was getting can be seen on the failed print on the left, a lot of ooze artifacts which can still be seen after fettling.
The cones at the back you can see look great but the key difference is these don't change colour every level. where the cube changes 3x per level.
On a recommendation I tried Simplify3D and this is what the print looks like with the ooze shield function active
you can see here that S3D has added a shell and it has all the ooze artifacts attached..... but when you peel off the shell, you get.....
A massive improvement,in conclusion, whilst Slic3r may be suitable for 99% of single extruder prints, S3D is definitely to be recommended for 99% of multi extruder prints.
