all of Digital Arts graphics are easy to you..they are already vectored. But I do not know about AI...I have CS3 but I hardly use it. I stick with Corel as I have Smart Designer that works with Corel and easily meshes with Digital Art images.. Now is it worth it?? it depends on your market and what you hope to do...you can break the images apart and combine with other images..really versatile....but again depends on your operation...if you spend $600 and only sell $200...it would not be worth it..
