Which should I buy?

I'm a TGE owner, and I decided to move into the brave new world of 2D programming. My question is -- do I want the source? I don't think I can predict if I will or not until I can use the thing (and the so-called "trial" installers actually install empty folders). What kind of things CAN'T I do with TGB out of the box? I'm fairly spoiled by TGE source code, but I'm also pretty used to be stuck with Director & Flash's limitations.

Any advice?

Honestly, I've seen enough people complain about the upgrade cost from Binary to Source that unless money is a big issue, it's worth just getting the source too (especially if you're used to TGE source).

OK, since no one else chimed in, I'm going for TGB with Source.

Thanks, Tom.

That way go, get the source with it.
