Yes, I am familiar with First Class, as well as with TeleFinder, and with just about every other Macintosh-oriented BBS package, whether it had a graphical interface or not. In fact, I collected them all, along with piles of add-on modules and externals, documentation, etc. Years ago, I offered it all on my BBS. However, I think it was the last time that I ran my BBS that I trashed it all, because I didn't think that I'd get back into BBSing again. Well, we know how that went. 
Aside from the steep price scheme and the limited number of users which were allotted to each plan, one of the big reasons why I went with Hermes II and public address, was because I didn't want to use a proprietary BBS package which required a proprietary client. I wanted my BBS to be open to all, regardless of the software that they were using, or not using.
Yes, I understand that some of the Macintosh packages handled both, but still, I settled for what was the cheapest, and the most accessible to the highest number of users.
An interesting thing is that over two decades ago, our local university ran a Macintosh BBS using First Class. In fact, I was in charge of it for a while. However, being a university, they found the price of expanding their user base using First Class a bit prohibitive. I encouraged them to switch to Hermes II instead, so that they could have as many users as they wanted. However, they never embraced the idea.
I don't know what happened after that, because I stopped going to MUGG meetings. I think they started getting too political with certain people trying to control it. It was a long time ago, so I just vaguely remember the facts.
