I'm not getting the Suite. I upgraded my Premiere Pro from CS4 to CS5 last week.
AWESOME. I also picked up a new NVidia Quadro FX4800 Graphics card which turns Premiere Pro CS5 into a monster! Cut rendering time down like a motherfucker. A 25 minute vid with smart blurs on it took 2 1/2 to 3 hours to render down to H264 mp4 on CS4 on my dual quadcore 64 bit 16 gb of ram machine.
That same video now renders in about 30 minutes with the power of the GPU in the FX4800 card.
My next step will be to upgrade my Photoshop CS4 to CS5
The only thing about Premiere Pro is...it is now a 64 bit native program in CS5 (which is fantastic), BUT all your 3rd party plugins won't work with it. I'm waiting on a couple of companies to get their plugins up to speed (should be within a week or two)
And you'll have to remake any custom sequences that you have as well. So it's kinda like starting over. But after you spend a few hours getting everything re-done in your settings...it blows away CS4. And CS4 was pretty damn good.
