Hi Peter,
Maybe the right answer to your question is both yes and no. If I remember correctly, "SPSS" stands for the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. So, it was designed mainly for those areas. If you can find all statistical methods you need to use in Origin (probably OriginPro because it contains more varieties of advanced statistics such as nonparametric hypothesis testing) in its feature list, or you want to take advantages of Origin's graphing capability or non-statistical analysis, Origin would be able to serve you. You can find Origin(Pro)'s features here: http://www.originlab.com/pdfs/FeatureList851.pdf
If you like Origin, but couldn't find some specific feature you like, you can suggest OriginLab to develop it in future version at: http://www.originlab.com/www/company/qform.aspx?s=1&sbj=tech@3
Also, I would like to suggest you to try the evaluation (demo) version of Origin, which is fully functional because that is the best way to "know" if it is suitable for you, or not. The download page is (you can evaluate either standard Origin or OriginPro): http://www.originlab.com/index.aspx?go=Downloads/OriginEvaluation
I hope this message suggests you in good direction.
