TradeStation 8 vs. AmiBroker 4.60

[WaySolid]

Does anybody have experience with Trade Station 8 and Ami Broker 4.60 in relation to back testing?

I'm very interested in the comparisn between the two, TS8 is vastly more expensive as you pay a monthly subscription compared to a once off fee for Ami.

TS8 does however appear to have an easier language to learn.

I dont have T/S but know a few that do.

It cant test portfolios.
Great for singular stock or futures analysis.
It cant explore for prospects.

Ami can do all that T/S does and much more.

I haven't used Tradestation but am very inpressed with Amibroker (especially for the money!).

backtesting ability seems far greater than my needs.
