I think that adobe premiere would give you more output options from the timeline than Avid such as direct access to the main concepts mpeg encoder for dvds etc. I work at a facility with 9+ Avids and they do not have the ability to create mpeg 2 and mpeg 2 dvd files from the timeline. Which means rendering out an uncompressed file and then converting it in cleaner etc. The editors have the same problem on thier avid home system too. More time to create product leaves less time to be creative.
