At last...an 8-bit question!

Can anyone discuss the relative merits or otherwise of OSS's ACTION! cartridge
vs. their C/65 compiler.  Which would you recommend I purchase?  I know that 
C/65 requires MAC/65, but that's ok.  I'm more interested in things like
ease of programming in one lang vs. the other, development environment
provided, known bugs, speed, etc.  I'm leaning toward C/65 mainly because
learning C at least would be of use with other machines, whereas ACTION!
is presumably of no use outside 8-bit Atariland.  I have an Atari 800.
Posting replies to the net would probably be appropriate here.  Thanks.

I have no opinions, but if I did they could be yours for a price.
