I've had it for a while (beta tester) and I'd say its not worth it. Freehand is unchanged, the new features of flash are good IF you are going to use them, and have a very fast PC to run it on (its frustratingly slow on our work P3 800's) and the DWMX2004 handling of CSS is still very poor compared to topstyle. If you're using CSS for layout you still wont be able to use DW and expect reliable results from the design mode.

Personally, I now only use PS7, Topstyle 3 pro and VERY occasionnally Flash MX.

Dont chuck your money away for nothing if you already have the MX suite unless you really need the extra features in Flash MX Pro
