Just a heads-up to anyone needing to drop a couple hundred or thousand dollars on software. Over the past year or so, I've needed to pick up several adobe products, some apple software, and some other specialized video production software. I always comparison shop, but B&H has been consistently cheaper than Amazon for the same software, even when adding in shipping.
I purchased FCP Studio upgrade for about $75 less than Apple Retail (and about $30 below Amazon) a while back, purchased some video encoding software for about $50 less than MSRP, and I just purchased a copy of After Effects--was still about $5 under Amazon's price, even with upgraded 2-day shipping from B&H. Not to mention you can get 2% Bing cashback on your purchases...
They're a great outfit, as we've heard here in the past, but just thought I'd offer another couple of data points about this particular type of product.
