Question Avast! Two Questions on Free vs. Pro

I was looking at Avast! and comparing their Free vs. Pro. Both have the new anti-rootkit as and the following is what the Pro offers in addition over the Free:

Enhanced User Interface
Command-line Scanner
Defining your own antivirus tasks [whatever this means]
Working with the task results (actions on infected files)
Storing the scan results (history)
PUSH updates
Script Blocker
Virus notifications (task-based)
Task Schedule


* For those of you who run this anti-virusIs there anything that stands out warrenting the Pro over the Free? How important is having script blocking? Thanks.
