Philip, can you please point me to where the $210 upgrade might be available? I can´t find it anywhere. At that price I might upgrade, just to protect my initial investment, since XRite told me that further support in terms of future compatibility for anything other than iPublish has effectively already stopped.
Having said that, and after reading all comments in this thread, for someone like me who doesn´t need CMYK output, I haven´t yet read anything that might persuade me that a $499 upgrade price is not certainly excessive. I shouldn´t be forced to buy more than I need (i.e. CMYK output), and the clearly evolutionary-only -and, arguably, modest- improvements mentioned here are not worth that amount, in my opinion.
