There is no wave-form view in Amazing Slowdowner, but I use Audacity for that kind of work and can't see why I would want them all in one program. As a practice play-along tool for a musician (which is mostly how I use it), the Amazing Slowdowner seems to have a cleaner GUI without it.
To address just that point:
I find the Transcribe waveform display very useful for discerning phrasing and articulation. You can often distinguish clean breaks, and legato vs. staccato by using the display as a visual reinforcement of what you're hearing, at a level of granularity that might be difficult to perceive by ear alone. The waveform also makes it easy to zero in on a particular bit; for example, when you do a pitch or harmonic analysis. And when you don't want/need the display, you can easily hide it for a cleaner look.
Yes, you can do all that in a separate audio editor like Audacity. But it's convenient to have it all together with your basic slowdown functions.

Is there a good reason for buying Transcribe! when I already am using Amazing Slowdowner and Audacity and format conversion programs?
If you're happy with the suite of tools you have, probably not. But the Transcribe download does give you a 30-day free trial if you want to check it out.
