Is Urchin worth the extra cost?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but Google purchased Urchin and used it as the basis for Google Analytics?

My question is whether Urchin, which costs $$$, is of any great value what with Google Analytics being free. Is Urchin more powerful/comprehensive?

Urchin has fewer features but has the huge advantage of being software, i.e. you can analyze historical data and re-analyze data after changing settings. If you google "Google Analytics compared to Urchin" or something similar you will find more detailed lists of differences, at Google Analytics partner sites.
