Many autotracing programs loudly claim to have the "best" raster to vector conversion in the world. Imagaro Z easily demonstrates it exists in a class all by itself. Utilizing a world class Sensedge Tracing Technology, bitmap images are quickly conveted into accurately traced, scalable vector art with minimal control points placed in the right places, making editing extremely easy.
Clean up graphics like a Pro with a unique set of graphic tools that turn imperfect objects into perfect shapes. Resize and reproduce objects, and even identify the various typefaces that were used in creating the graphic.
Put an end to the frustration and wasted time of trying to identify which specific font was used in your graphic! Let Imagaro Professional Z quickly search through an extensive online font database of over 70,000 fonts in seconds. Build your own searchable database from you own font collections. Quickly clean up graphics by replacing "jaggy" bitmap text with perfect vector type with one mouse click. Clean up artwork fast using the most advanced clean-up tools and typeface identification technologies in the graphic industry.

I bought Imagaro Professional Z because it was taking me hours and hours to convert and cleanup the files I could trace. That's reason number 1 - it does save me time - minutes instead of all evening to take from bitmap to cut-ready vector.
I found I could now work with files that were impossible for me to vector before - that's reason number 2 - the ability to get a workable vectors from some tiny, crappy, lo-res bitmaps!!
Oh! the Fonteye tool has matched nearly everything I have thrown at it - (sometimes a sample just ain't a font you know!) So I guess that's another reason
