I upgraded to CS4 right after it came out and I haven't regretted it. I was feeling limited by my program and that was a big cause of me wanting to upgrade. PSE was great for me, it did its job for 2.5 years, but I had hit my 'max' with it and felt like it was time for the next step. I will say in the almost 2 years since I got CS4, TONS more actions have come out for PSE that are workarounds for things PS does. I'd say stick with what is working for you until it doesn't anymore...if you hit that limit, then it might be time to move on. Free trial is definitely the way to go though, before you spend that much cash.
