You say you do a melody in Finale and then import it into BIAB. I used to do that all the time with Sibelius and still so on occasion. However, some kind soul on here told me about getting free biab and/or midi files from the web and then editing them in Real Band. I have gotten some pretty neat arrangements/backups that way after editing some freebie files in RB. It has tons of features and is a great tool to work with individual tracks, IMHO. I should add that I'm still a rookie with most of this stuff, but it has been very worthwhile for me to learn or at least begin to learn. I suggest that you watch all of the available videos on Real Band (via PG Music Support) and decide for yourself.
