In short, Designer Pro X is the flagship product which the others are subsets of.
That is quite impressive.
Thank you for the info.

The live copies and multi-core support especially make the Pro version stand out to me. That's considerably more money to spend for those features alone, though. Do you know how Page & Layout Designer/DPX9 compares to Adobe InDesign for typesetting? PGD9's text editing appears fairly standard, which wouldn't be ideal for typesetting articles and the backs of book covers.
