I love the AE interface. It is great for broadcast design. Combustion seems more suited to effects work. Which IMHO is usually less layers so Combustion's setup works better. Why do you think Discreet dropped thier price? They see the writing on the wall, their big hardware is doomed for SDTV. AE6 also incorporates Keylight. A plug in that Inferno users pay $6k for. So much for Combustion's superior keying. And for myself and a lot of people who tried to use the particle system in C2 for production work got smacked in the ass because of crashes. It took Discreet 9 months to get a stable version of C2 out. Sad cause AE is such a rock solid performer.
