There is no doubt that you need to move up.  Photoshop 4
has at least three features that are _major_ improvements:

1)      All lettering automatically goes to a new layer, so
you never accidently overwrite your image.

2)      You can move without a grab tool, so it saves much
time.

3)      It has guides so you can align objects & letters a
la a drawing program.
