XP PRofessional for home user?

Hi
Are there any 'advantages' that I may have missed that I would want to have XP Professional installed on my home PC? We are talking a total home user here. Dabbling in some web design, some media things, internet- very few games.
I am thinking XP Home will do-- but I do not want to find out some little thing that professional has that I did not know about later.

No reason to get XP Pro for home. Main reason would be for work if you had to join your computer to a domain.

Thanks - I did not think I needed to
Do you know what a 'reasonable' price is for XP home?
about 100 bucks?
