I bought Aztec C some time ago, and am now considering doing one of two
things:

1) getting the HFS-compatible version (Manx wants $55 for that)

2) buying Lightspeed C (the going mail-order rate seems to be ~$130)

I've seen so many good things about Lightspeed, that there's not much
question in my mind that if I didn't already have the Aztec, I'd by LSC.
But, since I already have the Aztec, my question is:  Is Lightspeed 
sufficiently wonderfuller to justify the $75 price differential?  I don't
know assembly language from Swahili, so the lack of good assembler support
in LSC is not an issue.

Any opinions?
