need video editing software, sony vs magix?

i bought a cannon hf20 camcorder last year, got some footage i wanted to edit. it is avchd format which in the past on my laptop i have used a free converter to convert it to another format so i can edit it under windows movie maker to make a dvd out of it. well i did not pay 0 on and hd camera for nothing. i got a new dell desktop with the i7 processor which i believe i can do some real hd editing on the footage. i'm also planning on buying a blu ray burner in a few weeks. i don't have a lot of editing knowledge but i do know what i'm doing. i went to best buy looking for a decent software that will let me do simple editing and was looking at the sony movie studio HD and the magix movie edit pro 16. both seems pretty straight forward and similar but which is a better buy? i've heard a lot of good things about sony vagas so leaning towards the sony software. i don't want to spend a fortune on it. at the moment will either let me convert it to dvd?
