I would personally recommend Neo as the ultimate upgrade for existing Pinnacle & Ulead users who have exhausted their learning curve & are looking for a more professional & stable editing software especially for HDV & AVCHD editing. Canopus has also made the entire transition process easier by offering a very easy to read user manual & a comprehensive online training video at www.canopus.com. For those of you who are new to Edius, you will have a good idea of all it's functionalities & features after viewing the online videos.
