HI Clint, Thanks for the advice. I read on adobe's site that they were both the same. I am not too good setting things up, and so I was thinking about getting the standalone as everything is set up, but then to use ColdFusion & Flex in the same environment without switching back and forth is a nice idea. Ecplise takes some getting used to, but all in all I do like it.
With the plug ins you just throw all the files in the plugin folder? I don't think that you can use software updates in eclipse for this? Since most people on this lists are not newbies at flex, and I am I thought that this would be a good question to ask. I also found this site: http://www.riapedia.com/2007/03/20/flex_builder_stand_alone_or_eclipse_plugin Just a few days ago, and so I guess I am not the only one thinking about it. I am excited as I finally have the money for flex builder, it is just a question about which one.

The reason is I use CFEclipse and other plugins and as those mature they are needing the newer build of Eclipse. The standalone FB is an older version of Eclipse.

I do not use eclipse that much, well sometimes but I usually use dremweaver for ColdFusion. I like cfeclipse, I think that I am just too used to dreamweaver. Can I ask which version do you use? Is there a preference? I will manly using eclipse only for flex, as I do now,and space on my machine is no isse, and so If I have to install and extra eclipse is no worries for me.
