Richard,
4NEC2 does current sources. It also supports NEC4 and has good graphics.
What other deficiencies are you missing?
Years ago, I tried both EZ and 4NEC2. I stayed with 4NEC2.

I recently looked at 4nec2. Correct me if I am missing something, but this
software cannot do many important extensions to the NEC engine that EZNEC
does, such as current sources. The lack of current sources is sufficient to
rule out
4nec2 for me. There are many other deficiencies in 4nec2. It really makes
EZNEC look good.
