It sounds very good, but is it stable and solid? Does anyone know of any incompatibilities, bugs or other problems with this studio package? How does it compare to RDS5?

CCP, it's 150$ for RDS users and not 100$ . litst

is it stable? how about it's animation and rendering times? do the effects really work?
