Synplify Pro for resource optimization?

Hi there, We have a design is approaching 90% full in a 3C25 device and the combinational logic resource is the bottleneck. Would Synplify Pro help in this case? If it does, how much difference...

In the last year, I have not used Synplify much, but in prior years I have used it and compared the results to QIS on dozens of different designs. It is my experience that (and again, design dependent) Synplify Pro does a slightly better job of producing a smaller fit, but QIS usually gives you a design that meets timing a little easier.
