Purchasing Access 2010 separately

[Pat]

I have Office 2003 and 2007 pro on my laptop.
Rather then paying $693 for Office 2010 Pro i was wondering if i can just purchase Access 2010 (less than $200).
What do i miss out on?
Are there any gotchas going down this path?
Should i just bite the bullet and go for Office 2010 Pro instead?

What say you?

If you're a serious Access developer, you'll probably want to test how Access 2010 works together with the other Office 2010 applications. Testing Access 2010 with Word and Excel 2003 or 2007 is not the same.
Apart from that, Office 2010 is in many ways what Office 2007 should have been - 2007 simply wasn't finished.
So if you can afford it, I'd get Office 2010. If you can't, the choice is easy...

Thanks Hans, I have a few clients that are running 2010 so i should probably go with 2010.
