Depends on whether you feel you may want to upgrade at a later date.
The se version is a scaled down one, not a trial, so doesn't have all the
functions of the full version. Not knowing which se version it is, it may
also be out of date, Ulead are now on V9.
The benefit you would have from buying this one is that if you wanted to
upgrade to a full version of videostudio you'd get a very good upgrade
price.
