XAML editing options

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2010 to develop WPF desktop applications. I edit my XAML with a visual editor, often manually tuning it. My code is C #. I had no particular problems with this arrangement.

What are the benefits of Expression Blend over Visual Studio for editing XAML? Why is Expression Blend so expensive (it's more expensive than I paid for Visual Studio !!) Are there any other full-featured XAML editors that are cheaper? (I'm not talking about free ones like kaxaml - they are too limited)

Thanks in advance.
