It is the full Sony Vegas 8 Pro, but it does not contain DVD Architect 4.5, which is normally bundled in the boxed version of Vegas.

You can buy DVD Architect 4.5 standalone for an extra $50.

Multicam in Edius is so incredibly easy compared to Premiere, you have to see it to believe it. I am also missing the awesome integration between the Adobe products, especially when it comes to sound, but it looks like the perfect NLE has not yet been written...

Another huge plus in Edius is the phenomenal Canopus HQ codec that makes not only editing very easy on your PC but produces high quality video, making Cineform products unnecessary.

It doesn't come cheap though...
