Since mine was a much older laptop model, I had no
need for Panorama. But I expect I will, if and when I
put a latter day video card into the reconfigured
tower system, or the 2nd. Shuttle.

I think (hope) they have been making steady
improvements to the installer, but have no way of
knowing for sure.

The difference is this: your image can be Smart
Compressed; I would expect your Copy to be Raw. My
10G. W2K boot partition (about 50 % free space,
presently) became an image of about 2.4G. Even on a
decent sized storage drive, 10G is not chump change.
(I don't use any 500G + drives, and have no plans to.)
Besides that, you run into a single file limit of
around 4G -- either on FAT-32 or NTFS, I don't recall
which at the moment. I'd rather not have to split and
re-integrate backups.
