Is Information Analyzer actually any use ?

Hi,
I am working as a DataStage architect for a French firm. We are putting in a DataStage framework from a local supplier and in the process of moving a small number of high volume server jobs to PX.
The quality of the jobs and data is variable and knowing the PX is fussier with its treatment of data than Server, I am wondering if there is any mileage in using Information Analyzer to profile and Metadata Workbench to view the lineage.
Given that we have to redo the jobs anyway, it might help us with conversion.
What are your experiences of using these two products
Do you have any views on any other IBM products which simplify the design-redesign processes you have been through.
Thanks
Colin
PS. I have posted this to the MDW system forum too for the MDW users
