Actually that was exactly my point about PhraseExpander. What I like about it so far is the amount of control it gives me to manually set up the order of the predicted text letter-by-letter, so that when I type the first 2 letters of my intended word, it is very likely to be on the top of the list of offered phrases because that’s how I set it up.

There is a box called Test Pad within the PhraseExpander app, and you can basically fine-tune the order of words in which they show up in the SmartComplete popup, simply by adding or removing letters from the shortcuts.
