For the little guys like me it can boil down to the money, I have downloaded a few trial versions and have a few from differnt peices of hardware that I have bought. (I can find faults with all of them) It looks to me that Vegas or Premiere are the two big boys with Premiere being the biggest and baddest. I cant see spending that much on a software title though. Now I am considering buying a Matrox card that comes bundled with the full version of Premiere, the hardware cost as much as the software so its like I am getting one or the other free. (but I will still be broke after I spend)
