bernina software with brother machine

HI I currently have a Bernina aurora embroidery machine using bernina software V5. I am thinking of upgrading my machine to a brother pr650. The agent selling me the machine told me I can still use my bernina software with the Brother machine, as it is better than the brother software and i will save money not buying the new software. However I am worried it will not work propperly. Have had a look on the internet but can't find any help. Will they work together??? as the brother has 6 needles auto colour change etc, and different hoops (cap hoop) than the bernina. how will the software recognise these. or do i have to send it to the machine manually and do the embroidery from the machine instead.
I don't trust him and was wondering if anyone has used bernina software with a brother pr6** machine.
Is bernina's software really the best?

thanks

I have the Bernina V5 software. I'm not sure if it will work with the Brother machine. One thing I do know is the Bernina software won't put automatic trims in. You will have to manually trim the jump stitches.
Thanks for your your help
Can you software save the design as a dst file? if it can Brother can read dst most machines will read a dst file. I have a Happy and a brother. The Brother will read it's native file which is pes and dst.

Yes, the program will save as a dst file.

So instead of sending the design straight to the machine as I do now will have to save the file and some transfer the file to the brother and work on from there. I.e. Select correct hoop and position the design etc?
Then it should run on a Brother...
