Would I like to have an Audi A-8? Yeah, I really, really would. While my Saturn doesn't do everything that I want; e.g. turn heads, it certainly does everything I need.
Look at what your institution based on its size, number of high risk customers, location, etc. actually needs. You may not need any AML or SAM software at all.
This is pathetic, but I need to admit it for the greater good. Every time I go to the ABA-ABA conference I sit in on demo after demo of AML software during those never ending breaks. Every vendor makes the same claims and issues the same warnings. However, what I come away with a reinforced opinion about what is and what is not worth knowing about customer activity, a better idea of how much money each incrememtal amount of information is worth, and some really good insight into how to replicate the same information gathering at a fraction of the cost..
