Personally I would not buy their (Eagle) Autorouter. My preference with them(autorouters) is 
not to use them at all. Then again my background inPCB layout is from an analog/RF 
background and for 900MHz RF layout and autorouter is taboo. By the time you put all the 
restrictions on the autorrouter, you can route it manually faster. 

The only full package from Cadsoft that I would buy is the Editor and layout tools. At $525 is 
not a terrible cost considering what cadence and Mentor Graphics charge. Even the Hobbyist 
license in not bad at $169 even with its layer and size restrictions.
