I not only ID'ed it, but I found it for free: http://www.free-fonts-ttf.org/true-type-fonts/ag-benguiat-218-download.htm So I can see by the comments that I’m not the only one looking for this font.

Just some pricy fonts. Oh, forgot: Just make it try to identify some normal font like Arial, it sure doesn’t suggest Arial. Just some pricy fonts.

Although often the font I'm trying to identify is some free font and if there's no commercial equivalent for the font, it's useless. And even in the occasion that the tool doesn't help, you can post it there for actual people to analyze. And they're pretty good. It sure is handy.

When it falls through, though, don't underestimate the power of the WhatTheFont Forum! There, you post your image to a page, and user-enthusiasts ID your font personally. I rarely have to wait for more than half an hour for a positive ID. It makes me wonder where these folks find all that spare time, but I am very, VERY grateful they spend a little of it on me!

I've had luck with slicing the letters apart in an image editor. Though you are right script type doesn't do as well as regular type. 2. Part of the problem here is you might not be trying to identify a free font. If you were I'm sure it would come up with something. But yea What the font is a great tool.
