CRPDGAZ, I would take the time to do your home work on Camworks and ONECNC get a feeling for the strong points.
there are a few CAdcam softwares that work great side by side with SW2004.
I for one use mastercam with solid works and love takeing the direct files from SW. you can add a button in solid works that will take the modle afte construction right into mastercam to cut from.
My point is just look around and find what works best for what your company needs.
