Autodesk Autosketch instead of CAD?


Anybody used it? Long story short i need a new copy of CAD for work, they don't really want to fork over $800 for Autocad LT because we're basically only using it for floorplans and seating charts, I have the drawings, just need the software to open it, change names on cubes and offices, things like that. Autodesk is telling me I can do all that with Autosketch for $129 but I've been burned before trying to buy a cheaper version that I could do stuff with.

Anybody?

I use AutoCad04 almost everyday. I have never used Auto Sketch before.
I went and looked on the web sight it seems like a good deal.
My questions would be, can you dimension objects, size them.
Since there is no mention of layers on the web site, it sounds like you can only work in one layer.
I wonder if you can import objects. it sounded like you have to use the objects in their library only. I could be wrong on that though.
I also wonder what your print options are, if you can print to an E size or not. That might not be relevant to your applicanion.
For a $129 it's worth a look.
Let me know if you buy it and your thoughts on it.
