Need a great UML tool for less than $450

I need a really good UML tool and it would be a big plus if it would plug into Visual Studio Pro 2005.
The best I have found (feature wise) is here:

I would like to know what Modeling tools are recommended.

We use Sparx EA for modelling of use-cases, databases, domain model and user interfaces. I really like it and it is good priced.

I've been using the corporate edition of Sparx EA for a couple of years.  I used it with MDG Link when working with it and VS .Net, but I've been using MDG Integration since the release of VS 2005. 

My first experience with a UML tool was with Rational Rose when employed at Coca-Cola in Atlanta.  Due to my experience with Rational, I looked at both it and Sparx before finally opting to go with EA.  All told, I've been quite pleased with my selection of EA.
