Astroart vs Registar

I have new equipment on the way and have been searching for better software to go with it. I currently use mostly Registax and Photoshop. I also have a registered copy of Astrovideo that I have used for webcam and videocam images.

Aligning DSO images is my greatest weakness currently. Do you all think these programs are enough and I just need to get better at processing with what I have, or is it worth getting a more dedicated DSO imaging program?

I have looked around and it seems AstroArt and RegiStar are both quite popular. RegiStar seems fairly limited in what it does, although it sounds as if it does it well. Does AstroArt do everything that Registar does and more, or is it not as good at image registration?

Thanks for your thoughts and advice
John
