Wendy,

A good question you have asked, and one worthy of consideration.

As a rule, every time a new version is released, it contains significant new features and improvements. New functions, RealTracks, MIDI tracks and more.

Typically 50 differences are identified.

Bottom line: wait, review the new features and decide for yourself if the upgrade is beneficial. It's not mandatory of course. I've upgraded every year, but that's always been purely my choice.

Historically, the annual upgrade has been available in early December (just in time for Santa grin )
