I just got PC Tools Deluxe from Central Point Software. Since I am a
registered user of Copy II Mac, CPS has offered $18 (including s/h) for
upgrading to PC Tools. Well, I think Symantec Utilities, as a whole
package, is a better product for recovering deleted files, especially
for recovering crashed disk, than PC Tools. However, for $18, it is one
heck of a great value.

PC Tools offer equivalency of Symantec Utilities' Guardian & Shield
recovery systems, a file/text retriever DA (works in background!), a HD
backup program (a kind of mediocre program, but the selection of folders
to backup/restore gives me a good compliment to my DiskFit backup
system), Data encryption/compression utility (I would still use
StuffIt), Sector Editor and some other nifty goodies.

In overall, I like it -- especially for $18, it is a steal. Yes, there
are some quirks, and I am not too sure whether I would have bought it
for the full price, but if you are a registered user of Copy II Mac, it
is worth a shot. (PC Tools behave better with Multifinder, at least
according to the manual)
