I've been doing some reading and it would seem to my inexperienced eye that after effects and combustion do the same things.

ie mask, rotoscope, matte, composite etc.

I've AE 6 and will try getting a book at the weekend to learn how to use it to some extent. Isense a starfield and travelling matte in my future soon. but the work mebe has done in combustion is impressive.

anyone care to offer an opinion on which is better and why? be it easier to use, better plugins, easier interface etc.

would be interested to know. seeing as I have after effects, need I bother getting combustion if all I want to do is some rotoscoping, a basic matte to fix the starfield and some compositing so I can combine elements from two different captures.

I'm less bothered about fixing spots and tears, but if it's easy enough in after effects, it might be worth fixing some of the more glaring ones in ANH.
