Firefox with Sage Extension:
- Integrated into Firefox
- Nice stylesheet for feeds
- No ability to post to blogs
- No ability to weblog other posts
- Doesn't check for updates automatically OR I can't set the checking time
Sauce Reader:
- Separate application
- Plain stylesheets for reading basic feeds
- Can set up multiple blogs that use popular blog hosting sites such as Blogger and post to them using a nice editor
- Can weblog other feed's posts to your own blogs
- Can control how often you check feeds for new items
Despite being a separate application, Sauce Reader is definitely what I'm looking for. Sage extension is too lightweight and might be ok for just keeping tabs on blogs, but its not the blogging tool I want.

I use w.bloggar to post to my blog, thus I don't need something as heavy-duty as Sauce (despite the fact that I enjoyed it while I used it).
When I made the decision to switch it was based on two things:
- I wanted to reduce the number of applications I used
- I didn't want an app that checked my feeds for me (because it was hurting my work)
Sage met those two requirements nicely...
