Premiere Elements vs Premiere pro

[buzzsaw17]

Hey guys, I am a novice film maker looking to get some better video editing software. I don't need anything extremely fancy, just as long as it can cut and trim scenes, color correct and some mild sound editing. Anyways, my question is, would I be better of saving some money and getting Premiere Elements, or is Premiere Pro worth spending the extra money to get? Keeping in mind, I'm not getting money for making these videos unless I win a contest or two in the near future. I am currently using a free version of VideoPad for my video editing software.
Any input would be much appreciated, thank you for your time.

Well, since u don't have much experience with video editing yet, Premiere Elements will do fine for u.

CS5 premiere would freak u out and u would be very unhappy video editor : )
