I think you are already testing the right package.
Eagle is nice to use - easy to learn and the results are 
quite good. Auto routers are for the waste bin - even in 
very expensive tools like Racal Visula...

You can also make your own parts quite simple with Eagle.

And if you need a very nice tutorial surf here:
