[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Newtek DigiView with S-VHS

I need a digitizer for some graphics work I'll be doing this summer.
In addition, I am getting a new (actually my first) VCR.  NewTek's
DigiView, by all reports, is the most versatile and powerful
digitizer on the market.  I wanted to know if anyone out there has
tried digitizing from both the S-VHS and VHS-HQ formats.  Does the
S-VHS really make a large difference in picture quality?  I plan to 
get a camcorder and color splitter to go along with this, and am
wondering if I am justified in spending the extra $$ on the S-VHS.  
Since this is a lot of money, (more than my A1000 was! :-) I hope
that someone with some experience or knowledge can help.  

                                 Thanks,
                                 Joe Peck
