Hi Scott,
isn't it so that Microsoft is somewhat promoting WatiN?
It integrates with MSTest and works locally with IE.
In comparison: to test in IE with Selenium I need to install a Java Server.
One more headache for a Microsoft Shop as we are.

<a href"http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg490346.aspx" title="'Behavior-Driven Development with SpecFlow and WatiN' in MSDN Magazine 12/2010 ">MSDN Magazine 12/2010</a> printed a BDD-Primer with this combination of SpecFlow with WatiN. Its author Brandon Satrom (msft Developer Evangelist) has also posted a Video Webcast: Using ASP.NET MVC With Community Tools teaching in detail 1:1 his above findings.
It seems best to go along with WatiN in our enterprise development around basically Microsoft tecnologies. What do You think?

Something is going odd with the html-tags here, the above did NOT resolve to a href as in the comment preview:
