The reason I feel I need to ditch my beloved Auto-
trax is that I am probably soon going to be having
to work with 4 or 6 layers and many 1000's of pins.

I had a look at the pulsonix pricing. When you
convert from pounds to aussie dollars for the set
of features that would be nice. It ended up just
a tad more expensive than my 1000cc japanese
motorbike (with clutch left and brake right).

What bike do you have? I had a long break from owning bikes so the
transition from British to Jap layout wasn't too traumatic. I still got it
wrong sometimes. At 64 I'm a bit old to be riding a quick bike like the
SV1000, especially at the speeds I ride it at.

Have a look at my Pulsonix Yahoo group:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PulsonixUG/

and try the demo. They will give you a full 20 day license if you ask them
nicely. They are about to release a very large parts library containing most
of the current MCUs, FPGAs, etc.
