Just ran the same file through vector magic (desktop version) I did the 1-step setting no frills. based on this one file, I think the new AI version is better. They would both require some clean up.someone with access to vectormagic should try to run the some images through both and see if the results are comparable. I tried a couple images. It only worked well with a very high res clear jpeg file. 90% of the files i get don't do well using any type of autotracing tool.
