A good question is do you really need one of the real time capture cards?
Unless you are doing multiple layers of effects, a fast system and Premiere or Vegas will work fine with a $30 firewire card.
What type of work/projects will you be doing? We'll need more detail than just 3D and DVCAM.

I will be doing a range of projects, from weekend weddings to news reports, and an occasional special small documentary for the tv station I work for.

I would prefer the real time capture cards and analog video output of the hardware based systems, since some times I need to output to betacam.

cheers
