I have not used either a great deal so I don't feel qualifed to comment
on differences in-depth. I have, however heard very good things about
Sony Vegas so you might want to check that out too.

Are you committed to PC? You say you've used Final Cut Pro before.
DVD Studio Pro is generally regarded to be far and away the best DVD
authoring system for the money but of course if you're sticking with PC
that's irrelevant.
