The one that's $150, which I think is called the Student/Home edition or something, is not bad for the price, since you get the four apps in it. As to the more expensive versions of MS Office for Mac, I never thought they were worth the price. When you think about it, the $150 version is a better deal, since I remember that some places would sell Word, PowerPoint, and Excel separately for more.
I intend to get the Home edition when it comes out to upgrade my copy of Office, and I recommend it to all who use Office for Mac. If I recall correctly, the 2004 version was for PPC and the upcoming version will have Universal support, so Intel users will experience better performance. Word does act up on me sometimes... That's just my two cents.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 and it works just fine. I just read the article about Microsoft Office 2008 and I really want to get the copy of it. However the thing is that the price is too expansive and I don't think it's worth buying. What do you guys think?
