If you aren't using more than 4 video channels and 4 audio channels and aren't syncing multiple cameras, give Vegas Movie Studio Platinum a try. It's less than $100 and extremely powerful. It also is extremely similar to Vegas Pro. Its a low-risk, low-cost way to edit and see if you like the Vegas system.

Just looking at my current project, with barely any actually editing done... just putting the media on the timeline, I have 26 tracks. This is from a three camera shoot. That track limitation is pretty restrictive when you want better audio.
I played with a ULead system. I demo'ed Avid & PP. I checked out Liquid (could not stand the interface). I DL'ed Vegas 6 and it just made sense. The user interface was perfect for someone that had not been a NLE editor before. I jumped to pro because I never even considered that I might not need the many tracks, CC wheels, scripting, etc. Scripting has been a massive advantage for me (and a money earner for VASST). I got the bundled DVDA and have only ever used it for DVD authoring. I skipped V7 (no real improvements for my needs). I re-upped to V8. Not sure if I'll need the next one because i have no 64bit hardware / OS and I'm not shooting HD yet.
