Does the Tech Comm Suite work differently/better then adding separate components?

I use CS4 everyday which includes Illustrator,  Photoshop extended, InDesign, Dreamwearver and Flash. I now have a need to convert FrameMaker files into HTML and to create Help files using RoboHelp and Captivate. Do I need to get the Tech Comm Suite 2 or can I just add the RoboHelp and Captivate components and upgrade my FrameMaker to version 9? What works better and what is more cost efffective?

You would need to get the TCS2 to get the integration between FM, RH & Captivate because the standalone versions don't link together (you only can import), but I'm not sure about the overlap with CS4 - have you checked with Adobe?

Thanks Jeff for the information about importing not linking outside of the suite. I do want to link to the FrameMaker source file.

I will have to check with Sales at Abode to see about the intregration with or upgrade price available for adding Tech Comm suite.
