I purchased Simplify3D and it works really well, just need firmware 1.1.J.
You can print directly from the software, like XYZWare, select different temperature for different layers, so far, very good.
It comes as a Mac, PC and Linux version, I think.

Try the xyzware modded version. You can use which ever slicer you wish with it.
I slice with Cura and just use the xyzware mod to upload the gcode to the printer.

Edit : just noticed you're using a mac, not sure if the mod is available for mac.

Unless you are willing to reflash the firmware which will void your warranty there is nothing else that will run this machine directly. You can always use any other package out there like Repetier Host, Cura, Craftware, and others but you would have to slice it, get gcode, convert it, and import it into XYZware to print. It is the slicing function of XYZware that is the issue. You just are not given the control you really need.
