Wow Jason (@jasonb4u) !!!
I use SEO Press Pro on many sites, and I migrated most of them from Yoast, All in One SEO and some other plugins.
At least on my sites, the separators works perfectly among all other features.
But you have to understand that there are cases where a theme is coded in a bad way, or another plugin has conflicting issues.
I can also tell you that the developer always responded very quickly to all my requests, questions and helped resolving issues caused by 3rd party plugins.
So if I look at what you wrote, and we’re talking about a small issue you had with the separators, not something major or a real problem for SEO, you reacted too quickly in my opinion. And it’s your loss if you ask me.
Choosing Yoast is your choice, and will cost you more, much more.
But if you’ll check the history of Yoast, you’ll find why I stopped using that plugin.
Even more, the latest huge bug Yoast had, took a huge amount of sites down in rankings, and that was one of the reasons I decided to look for a better, more complete SEO plugin, that also has a reasonable price.
I wish you good luck, and if you need any help with SEO, site load time and web hosting, I’ll be happy to help you.
Cheers
Dan
