-one of the things I think SW's does (uniquely?) is validation for sloppy model geometry so the final model should be clean, or so I've heard.
The rendering, animation, stress testing, snap-to-fit, 2d blueprint pages, direct export to CNC, etc.. also sound nice.

John,
Many CAD packages do this. I utilize these features with Keycreator just so I get a clean model for machining.
Sorry I wasn't helpful to your original post. Fact is, I've got a copy of SW 2005 that I've yet to install. Maybe the learning curve (for me) is a bit intimidating.
Good luck,
Jim
