Digital BW, The Print

Truman,
  Is the newer version of PW a good tool for making BW injet prints. I have version 2.0 of PW and am considering to upgrade to 3.5 Standard or 3.5 Pro.
What do you see as a greater benefit over Photshop.

ps it's been a long time since I worked with PW.   I usually use Photoshop.

I find it much more intutive to use than PS. If you want to graphic 
arts, PS is the way to go but if you are more interested in preparing a 
photograph for printing PW seems to be a better tool. The new version 
supports the use of the PS curves so you can use Pauls or anyone elses 
curves developed for PS.

Quite frankly then only thing I find myself using PS for is the  
"healing brush."  It's a good cloning tool removing dust, scratches, etc.

I'm intrigued.  I have never used PS7, am on PS6 with CS on order, 
and so have not used the healing brush but I use PW3's speck remover 
to, what I suspect, is the same effect.  As for cloning, I never know 
what PS is going to pick up and PW3's tool is, for me, far superior.  
Of course this may because I don't fully understand the options in PS.

I just use PW for those tasks where I think it serves me better, 
which I guess will be less often when CS arrives.
