You should of course do whatever you want to and that of course will 
depend on what's important to you.  I was a TradeStation user for a 
long time.  TS3, 4, 5 & 2000i were all good products but when they 
made the jump to TS7 they were more interested in being a brokerage 
company then providing a development platform.  Personally I am more 
interested in having a great development platform then a great 
trading platform and in that regard AB has it all over TS.  Even if 
AB weren't as feature rich as TS ( which it is ) then I simply can't 
get beyond the fact that AB is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude faster.
