My only issue is which one to buy ...

The money once earmarked for XP&GD 17.0 is now surplus to requirements as for me, V17.0 is a non event.

Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer ... Bearing in mind I have XP&GD, I think that PHOTO is winning at the moment, however, there seems to be such a large crossover that it's virtually a toss up. Anyone have a argument either way ...

Most of my work (read that as play) is photo composites ... cards ... minor graphics ... banners ... posters. I'm really not an artist ...
