I agree that it definitely is a personal preference thing. The difference is not so much HDV over SD rendering layers, but how much of what you want to put on the timeline do you want to have to wait for it to render. This may only be an LE thing but the higher rated the GPU then the more is going on in realtime - i.e. not waiting for effects to render.
Like you say though, swings and roundabouts and certainly I would never go back to a single display now either

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
But seriously. I think this is just a Pinnacle thing - didn't they used to bundle a some software with a modified version of a Radeon... seem to remember people got errors if they happened to have the unmodified version with the software only.

How are realtime effects achieved in Premiere Pro? Is it all through cpu power? I was under the impression you had to have a Matrox RT.X100 in order to have realtime effects - otherwise they had to render before they could be previewed?
Don't know about the Radeon thing unless you are referring to the LE 5.5 Pro card which was a modified ATI All-in-wonder card of sorts. However the main benefit of that card was to allow analogue capturing and realtime previewing (without rendering). What I am referring to is the ability to drag an effect to your timeline and have it previewable immediately, no requirement for it to render first. This is what LE uses the GPU for, and it doesn't have to be the Pro card (like mine isn't).

It's the old "reduce frame rate and try to achieve real-time" thingy that Premiere does. Although some of the effects are genuinely real time of course, anyway.
