Just out of curiosity (I'm an Aseprite user); what if any advantages do you know of that might make GrafX2 preferable?

  I trialed several different pixel art tools and really like Aseprite so I purchased a license for the full edition. I was asking more of a feature comparison of why one would be better in terms of actually creating pixel art and animations, not a licensing and memory consumption comparison.

      You should maybe answer the actual question asked by parent instead.
