Thank you for the honest comments, Amul, they're not critical at all. Although I do like the non-destructive filters and a few other features of the CS3 demo, there isn't enough for me to justify upgrading (not to mention putting up with the inexplicable lag). When I loaded a small GIF in the CS3 demo today and my MP3 player ground to a screeching halt, that was enough for me. 7 is fast and does what I want, I'll stick to that.

Thanks to everyone who provided information and help, it's appreciated.  :)  Take care.
