there are more things now on CS2 besides that. If you had asked me if PS 7 was worth it over Elements, I'd have definitely said no, but along with the extra tools in CS2 (things like match color, photo filters, shadow/highlight, smart sharpen, vanishing point, etc) and what you brought up, I'd have to say CS2 does more...of course it's also a longer learning curve too.
