CS3 or Elements 5?

I am learning to love editing with both programs, but by far cs3 offers so many more features
that I realize now that my 30 day freebee is over....but it went SO much faster with only the one program on my computer. This was done VERY quickly, and with Elements, and I know I over-
processed...(need to use that opacity slider). But the more I play around the easier it becomes.
