I'd definitely put a version of SF onto the new machine. The Ctrl-k thing, with which one can prelisten before making a cut makes cutting so much better and so much more fun. I don't think, that Goldwave can do that. The only thing which in my opinion is a significant improvement of SF 8 compared to SF 6 is SF 8's cue review feature, controled with j, k and l. But if you're satisfied with Jim's scrubbing, you proberbly won't need it.
