Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 (newest) worth getting?

Hello,

I am a novice video editor (ie I haven't yet gotten into any of the Adobe Creative Suite programs but I'm looking into it) who's just been using the more simple video editor 'Adobe Premiere Elements 8' since early 2010.

I feel confident with it and like there's not a heck of alot more it can offer, but I then saw (today) a local store selling Premiere Elements 10 at quite a cheap price (for a first hand piece of software). I am considering buying it at this price but I first went and looked at a review on Youtube and, to tell you the truth, the only real difference I can see between the quality of Prel 8 and that of Prel 10 appears to be in the ability to share made video footage to Youtube/Facebook, will also everything seems easier on the eye.

I was hoping to see fantastic new effects, things you can do in this release but not the others but, instead, it just croned on about how pretty it looks, how convenient sharing stuff online is, or that commands are now more easily accessed.

There doesn't seem like any real reason to bother with this software at all considering my copy of Prel 8 doesn't really look all that far behind this new one.

I have two options and I'm asking for an opinion on whether this new Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is worth getting (ie is it markedly better to Prel 8?) or, should I just not bother with it and mill around with 8 until I scrounge enough money together to buy whatever Creative Suite package will be on sale at the time (it's at CS6 now)?

I don't just subscribe to getting CS6 Production Premium (is what I'd get) because I literally only would be buying it for Premiere Pro and After Effects and it comes with around 8 programs on it (I've read those others and, besides Audition, they don't seem all that appealing to me so I don't want to buy a bunch of software I don't plan on using).

Also, I HATE buying downloaded software and much prefer buying the boxed CD, so that's why I'm not interested in purchasing Premiere Pro and After Effects as downloads (they're enormous, anyway, and I can't be bothered downloading it all).

    You can get any Adobe software as either a download or a disc - it's entirely your choice

    PRE 10 is certainly a capable product but you may want to go with the free trial for now, or hold off a bit, as Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11 (new version) could be coming out soon
