Well, let me tell you this:
I created a 12th level Hexblade with both Hero Lab and the online CB. The exact, same character!
HL

CB
FINAL ABILITY SCORES
STR 14, CON 15, DEX 17, INT 11, WIS 11, CHA 21
HL

CB

HL
AC: 25, Fort: 22, Ref: 22, Will: 25
CB
AC: 27 Fort: 22 Ref: 23 Will: 25
HL
Powers:
1, At-Will Power: Basic Melee
1, At-Will Power: Basic Ranged
1, At-Will Power: Eldritch Bolt

Utility Power: Soul Step
CB
POWERS
Basic Attack: Melee Basic Attack

Drow Racial Power: Cloud of Darkness
Warlock Utility: Soul Step
Warlock Attack: Icy Skewer

Drow Racial Power: Darkfire

Warlock Attack 9: Summon Warlock's Ally

Legendary Hexblade Attack 11: Curse of Shattered Armor
Legendary Hexblade Utility 12: Fey Invocation
HL
Feats:
Aberrant Mark of Terror, Armor Proficiency: Scale, Cunning Stalker, Master of Fire and Darkness, Resilient Focus, Rod Expertise, Sacrifice to Caiphon, Weapon Focus: Light Blade
CB
FEATS
Level 1: Rod Expertise
Level 2: Aberrant Mark of Terror
Level 4: Weapon Focus (Light blade)
Level 6: Cunning Stalker
Level 8: Sacrifice to Caiphon
Level 10: Armor Proficiency: Scale
Level 11: Master of Fire and Darkness
Level 12: Resilient Focus
(Items are the same, but HL doesn't show them on the statblock, so I just copy them from the CB in case anyone wants to recreate the hero)
CB
ITEMS
Blade of Winter's Mourning Fey Pact Weapon
Adventurer's Kit
Rod Implement x1
Helm of Seven Deaths x1
Magic Scale Armor +2 x1
Incendiary Ring of Fireblazing x1
Blade of Winter's Mourning x1
Unfettered Thieves' Tools
Amulet of Life Protection +3 x1
Survivor's Belt x1
Needless to say that almost all the numbers on the powers are wrong! So, I think that I answered your question. Sadly, if you want to create an Essentials character, HL should not be an option.
