ptgui unquestionably does a better job handling non-ideal overlap situations than stitcher, stitcher also has had probs reading the exif from some of my images, some of my earlier panos that i didn't shoot "perfectly" never came together quite right in stitcher came out fine in ptgui
another big drawback is stitchers lack of speed compared to ptgui, autopano, etc - & good luck getting any support or response from autodesk on updates, compatibility, plans on fixing bugs, roadmap, etc
notice the lack of an autodesk stitcher 2011 in the left sidebar showing new products ? $350 for an app with no support & no likely updates, vs $180 for
ptgui pro would make me want a refund if i were a new customer...
