Hey Doc,

I see you're looking for the easy way out, but who isn't? You want others
who already tried them all and spent
foolish money testing and learned the long way to just tell you what to buy
and save you all the hassle.

Again, who wouldn't. But IMHO this is to be found easily on these groups,
because different people feel differently
about each program, it has a lot to do with what you learned on and how
comfortable you are.

I only can offer the advice to try the free version samples of each and see
what feels right for you
and then make a big effort to learn it well, but also learn the bugs and
quirks and find workarounds
as I think every software has these somewhere. LE6 from what I see is
software that runs better with
faster hardware, esp with HDV. And so make sure your equiptment can handle
the HDV files well first.

With the others you probably will need more dedicated hardware or even
different PC platform, HDV is more
expensive to edit one way or another, time or money.

Good Luck, and I hope others do offer you their wisdom and advice as well,
AnthonyR.
