They are demos.  I'm still deciding.  Serato's demo requires an iLok 
and is limited time.  Izotope's doesn't but adds silence every minute 
or something.

I tried slowing a vocal part by 20%, and it sounded great in both.  
I'll try again but by 40%.   I thought the real tough task would be 
slowing it down AND raising pitch.  There everything faltered, because 
I couldn't get the harmonic correction to work.  Both progs just show 
up in Logics Time Machine as alternate algorithms.  But when I turn on 
Harmonic Correction, I get an error message.  I don't know if that's 
because that isn't implemented, or if there is some failsafe where it 
can only be used with a small range of change.  Radius has a popup 
control window with additional parameters, one of which is harmonic 
correction, but I either used it wrong or it didn't work.  I'll try 
some different combos tonight and post the results.

That would be the easiest task of all, wouldn't it?
