I fully understand your enthusiasm for a product you love but this is a commercial decision based on buying 10 plus licenses for members of my design team so an extra $1000 or so is a major consideration. The reality is that MoI in it's current form is missing a few essential features to make it an essential purchase for our studio but we have fallen many of it's charms. It's not an essential purchase for us right now and I was in no way attempting to pressure Michael into offering us some kind of special deal. I was merely commenting that most vendors of creative software provide free version upgrades when they are close to releasing a new version. It's a sensible commercial decision because sales have a tendency to stall towards the end of a software products version lifecycle.

Cheers,
