You forgot to mention that TP5.0 and TC2.0 both come with *integrated*
debuggers in the integrated environments.  This is built in, so you will
get it even if you don't get the "Professional."  The Professional package
includes a stand-along debugger which is more advanced than the integrated
debuggers.  (And, of course, it includes the assembler.)
