It looks like the portable app might still be the simplest solution for me to try out a version that I'm not sure I want to keep. Version 18 is not available yet, but then again, I'm not in a terrible hurry.
Another suggestion to get a feel for Page Edit

Install the Folder Out and Folder In plugins in the Sigil version you have.

Download and unpack PageEdit somewhere (it's a self extracting exe)

Open an epub in Sigil and then use the Folder Out plugin to unpack the epub to an empty folder. Open that folder In Windows File Explorer, go into the OEBPS subfolder, then use Windows Open With on the opf file, use the Choose another app option to get PageEdit into the list of programs.

If you wanted to save your PageEdit in an epub, you'd close Page Edit and use the Folder In plugin to pack the folder into a new epub.

The difference with the latest Sigil is that you would press a button rather than Folder Out, Windows Open With->PageEdit, and Folder In.

@DiapDealer - that gave me a chance to use your Folder Out/Page Edit/Folder In suggestion - works fine.
