Thanks for your help
Only have experience with X4, Corel was having a fire sale about six months ago, paid ~$29.00 has some nice features, and came with a bunch of Nik Filters. But it does have some downsides, it strips EXIF data, and while and in some file formats it is limited to 8 bits. In my opinion, software should never discard data, had a few rounds with Corel on this - but they are not budging. Also their RAW processing is pretty poor compared to other products.
But as a basic editor it is good value for money
Another good editor that has a reasonable price is Sagelight, it has a better RAW engine and lots of features
I know that you did not ask about it, but the new Gimp 2.8 is really good. Pair that with UFRAW, and you ave a complete package. I wanted to test it, and I did my first photo restoration with it, and it worked flawlessly.
I have used PSP from X1 through to X3, and there were too many downsides for me to continue with it. I have The Gimp (Free), and Photoshop Elements 10.
