If you had the money (I think around $300.00), Which one would you get? Which is easier to learn on?

Dragon nuff' said.
I've had the chance to try STP, it isn't as good as MonkeyJam.
I moved from Stop Motion Pro to Dragon and it will take something really special to make me switch back. Dragon has a great, intuitive interface which is easy to pick up and use, and it's got lots of powerful features for those who need them.
So is it easy to use for a newbie?
Apologies, I thought that was implied in my reply.
In my opinion, I do think Dragon's main features are good and simple for someone to learn with.
Thank you....I'm gonna order it, when I get home tonight...
Interesting username you've got there...
Lmao
I can just picture that at the beginning of every one of his films: A BoobyToy production. My mom would be all wtf are you doing?!
Yeah, you had best PM Smeagol and get a non-questionable name.
True true. I <3 boobies (the birds). Even drew one.
Haha, I thought Sean put that picture there because the bird looked a little puzzled. 
Anyway, like everyone else, I suggest that you buy Dragon (even though you probably already bought it). I have SMP Junior and it was terrible. There was no image editing, not enough camera settings, and many other things.

The funny thing is, you are on there website.
Okay, stay on topic guys.
I can say that SMP is not very good, but I can't vouch for Dragon because I have never used it.
First off, what isn't good about SMP Living Lego?
Second, if you're going to go straight into Dragon, you have to figure out if it's worth it. So, how long have you been animating? Since you're a beginner, you have to see if it's what you actually need. From what I've heard, it's an incredibly professional program. You have to think if to start off, you want a program with loads of buttons and gizmos, or something that will teach you to animate simply, and easily (this is from what I've heard). I would recommend Stop Motion Pro to a beginner, it's a much simpler program then Dragon. If you want to have a idea of both, then I suggest the free demos you can download off of the websites. Good luck! I hope you find what you need.
The thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't keep the original camera quality. JK's QCP900 was sorta pixel-ly-ish...
