However, if you are really only looking to have a CAT tool so you can accept work, why don't you try Wordfast (you can get a demo that, I believe, works for a month, enough to learn to use it and see if you want to invest in it). It is very compatible with the big players, and is much, much cheaper.
Why not check out the forums discussing Wordfast and see if this could be a good alternative for you? I know many translators switched to Wordfast after having tried Trados and SDLX.
