Final Cut Pro or Glidecam?

I have some spending money, and want to know what to buy between FCP X and A Glidecam HD-1000. Right now I just have iMovie for editing. I was lucky enough to score a nice tripod for cheap, so I already have that for filming. If I should get the glide cam, would the HD-1000 be enough for a canon 60D with standard zoom lens, and expandable for a Rode mic for further down the road? Also if anyone has some free download links for FCP that would be great so this doesn't have to be an issue. Thanks.

I didn't. Definitely buy a glidecam. I'd rather have a glidecam and imovie than fcp and handheld, but just torrent it.

Get an HD2000

Download the trial of the Adobe Production Suite from Adobe's website and look up how to crack it.

A wieldy looks nice, from video i saw comparing it to the glidecam HD 4000, but the problem is I cant find where to buy it.
