At 6 years old, even a Sonic system will have limited appeal.
Sonic Scenarist is highly respected in the PC authoring community, even at twice the price of DVD Studio Pro. Both are pretty much as good as it gets without getting into 5-figure software price tags.
If you feel that you don't need the quality or "esoteric high-end items" then there are a lot of decent DVD authoring systems. I am not aware of anything about Encore DVD that puts it in the Scenarist/DVDSP class, in fact I don't even think it's a "weapon of choice" for that many users; I think it's just what comes with an Adobe Bundle.
In terms of your current system, you could try to ebay it, just don't expect to get a lot; it's a 6-year old system and the world has changed a lot. You can get a new iMac Core Duo with Final Cut Studio (which includes DVD Studio Pro 4) for a little over $3K and be an order of magnitude faster with more capability.
