Is it worth it?

I am not going to answer specifically about the software, but, FWIW, I will throw out some thoughts for consideration. While we primarily use these tools for work, we seem to have an additional interest in these software packages, otherwise we would not be here looking for the next Holy Grail. So, like others who have hobbies (in this case one that crosses over with your occupation), you need to decide how much time and money you can afford to invest in learning and experimenting. I know there are many gear hounds out there who will buy and try almost anything and everything, just for the experience of it. So, it seems to me that a base level question for consideration is, “Do you want to invest the time and money for the experience?” Its a question that I always ask myself if I am not certain of a purchase. This way, if the product does not meet my expectations, I am a bit more prepared for the “write-off”. Good luck!
