well, it's called this way,... You always have to pay if you are the first to get the stuff. Let me tell it this way, I have seen the stuff in Munich and have to admit it's great but I do not need 24bit right now I even can life with my Pro Edition. I just have the fear with the new LOGIC, the Performance Tool is no longer available, ... (hopefully not!!!)
I eventually will end up with the new stuff with a higher price compared to a brand new user but I have both!
This time I am the one who will wait until it's MULTITIMBERAL and otners do the beta testing for me [

] ! And best of all, I am pretty shure,there is a new holiday sale or summer sale in 2007
