Has anybody here used both Photoshop Elements AND Nova Photo Impact Pro?

Nova makes Photo Impact Pro and the more scaled down Photo Explosion (essentially their “Elements” version) while Photoshop makes Elements and Premiere Elements.

I’ve always used NOVA products in the past for editing software but I have a one month trial to Photoshop which I’ve just begun using and am debating whether to buy it. I’m curious if anybody has used both which they prefer.

I know Photoshop Elements is the gold standard of amateur photo editing but it’s frustrating getting used to a new program when you’ve become an expert in the old one. Is there any major preference you have for one over the other?
