If it's an engine AND GUI it might be depending on the GUI. As it stands it's too basic for me, but if they add some decent analysis features into version 2...I'd buy it.

Voted no and let me explain why. Current US$ pricing does not not reflect current exchange rates. AT most, price should be $79 in US based on current exchange rates. But other than that - I believe Deep Hiarcs with the GUI is fairly priced in Euros.

Why :?: I think the vast majority of people would use SF6 (for free) or K9 ($59.96) as an analysis engine!

Cordially,
