After 5 years, you'll have paid $1800 for ArtCAM, and always have a current version.
To remain current after 5 years with Aspire, you'll have paid more than 50% ($1000) more.
IF you can't afford the up front price of Aspire, you can get into ArtCAM with a much smaller up front investment. And it would be about 8-9 years before it actually became more expensive.
