It really depends on your individual needs as a quilter. EQ7 has a ***huge*** learning curve for most people so, if you are not into spending a lot of hours at the computer, EQ7 may be a waste of money for you. Be sure to do a "search" here on the QB to find older threads about EQ7. Personal experiences with it vary widely -- from indispensable for some quilters to totally frustrating for other quilters. I would advise you to be realistic about what you enjoy. Possibly because I have spent so much time working on computers over the years, I prefer actually sewing and quilting with fabric. I also prefer seeing a quilt evolve as I work on it, rather than planning it all out ahead of time. For me, that is the more creative process. Maybe someday I'll want to master EQ, but not today!
