I have FCE 3.5 (and get the next FCE when it includes the new HD compression), is there really any great reason to get CS3 Master Collection (heavily discounted at the EDU store) or will I be better off getting CS3 Design Premium and forgoing the Adobe video software? I do documentary stuff and the occasional wedding or event for a friend.
Got a tip for us?

Have FCE 3.5 so CS Design Premium or CS3 Master Collection?

Ya, I went through this too
I decided to get Design Premium (PS, Il, Flash, Flash video encoder, Dream, In Design, and Acrobat) because it wasn't that much more than Photoshop by itself. (upgrade pricing)
I decided that if I wanted After Effects I would purchase it separately. I know I don't want all the other stuff from the master suite taking up room on my disk
