Upgrade Meter:5
Pros: A power user's dream suite of design tools; well-integrated set of applications, with several complementary, useful tools like the Adobe Bridge; templates and context-sensitive assistance for help new users get acclimated to the powerful features and capabilities of the various apps
Cons: Price ($900-$1300) relegates it to professional use for the most part, power-packed with so many features that the learning curve for some of the CS2 apps can be relatively steep
