You can get it either way. I think that the stand alone with the embedded autocad costs around 3k, while the Survey for autocad comes with intellicad for less than 2k.
As far as learning Intellicad, if you know Autocad, there is nothing new to learn really. The Cad version with Intellicad will have more commands available than the embedded version, but it isn't exactly perfect.
They are working on it, though, and a lot of people use it daily, while others have opted for Autocad or the embedded version.
I am using the 2009 embedded version, but will probably switch over completely to Carlson 2014 with Intellicad when it is released.
