How is this compared to the StretchMesh plugin? And why should I get this instead?

[mfiorilli]

I haven't tried a lot StretchMesh myself, but from what I've seen it does something pretty much different from fStretch. fStretch let you really sculpt the contraction and extension meshes to really get the deformation your looking for. You don't just have to go with the results. You refine it. There is no sliding/collision with it but you can easily get them with Maya Muscles that now comes by default with Maya. That's why those options aren't there. I suggest you look at the features video :)
