I post this on another thread. Maybe it will help you decide what to do.
I recently purchased their corel addon, or plugin. How ever you want to call it.
I received it on a Tuesday, i installed it, read the manual, looked at their tutorials. Then i proceeded to create something for one of my clients that i was fixing to do t-shirts for. The design i had created was simple. Nothing fancy, then the next day i took them the one i created with DAS, and to my surprise, he increased the order, and now wants the design on the outside of his business, and he wants it on his business cards, and invoices. He was so happy with it.
What did DAS do for me?
1: It cut down production time. If you are anything like me, you probably have tons of art work stored somewhere. I used some of this art work to create the new one for this client. So i did not use all of their art work that is included with DAS.
People tend to say bad things, or not to good things about stuff in general without really truly putting it to the test.
2: I was able to make more money from the same client that had only ordered 50 t-shirts to start with.
3: Since i got it, and mind you i have not had it for more than a week, i have picked up 3 new clients that are ecstatic about the designs i brought into their ideas and business.
So now i have 3 more new clients which equals to more profit for me within 6 days of getting it in the mail.
So basically this is almost paid for itself in 6 days.
People need to think out of the box a little bit. Let go of that designer ego and see how much time this can really save you and how much more profit can you bring to your bottom line. I am a designer at heart, but this just makes it easier. Quicker, and as far as i can see so far, profitable.
Anyways, i just had to share my story behind this. I was at first very skeptical. But now i do believe it works.
