All I can say is that I have the DVD's by Spot and they are extremely good. It makes you wish you would have watched them a long time ago. I do not know how it could be better. Right to the point; simple to understand; feature-rich.
Perhaps the folks who own the DVD's by Gary Kleiner can attest.
They're both well worth getting, I learned new things from both of them. Highly recommend buying both, they're 'must get' imho ... sped up my learning curve astronomically ... useful insights from both guys, interesting to see how 2 different video pros manage their workflow.
See if you can find anyone who was at DV Expo and got the VASST flyer. There was a whompin' huge discount on products there. Cheaper than our DVDs are going for used on Ebay.
