I'm surprised you haven't give NeoOffice a look. It's basically OpenOffice but in a tidy, neat package, and to be honest I prefer it over both iWork and MS Office. Very much so in fact.

And this is coming from someone who doesn't hesitate to pay for software, so it's not like I'm choosing something because it's free. I have iWork and MS Office as well, but I still use NeoOffice most of the time.
