Definitely it is worth it! The extra tools are just more than useful,
and spotting mistakes is easier, and navigation through the Bible is a
breeze.

Sure, but adding markup is easy enough in Bibledit, there are some tools
for that.

The easiest way in bibledit to convert data to USFM is this:
- Create project, and open it.
- Add all books to the project (menu File / Project / Properties /
Templates (add books))
- Switch to USFM view (menu View / USFM code)
- Go to the book and the chapter to import
- Open menu Check / USFM
- Paste the chapter into the project, and use the Discover markup button
- Repeat and repeat this for each chapter till, after much sweat, you're
through.
