I did not see the 4-payment option as was offered the last couple years for purchases of BIAB2022. That was a much appreciated option since the annual BIAB update coincides with Christmas season which often keeps budgets very tight.
Is the 4-pay option no longer offered during checkout, or did I miss that option somewhere?

It is available but it seems to only apply to the main upgrade package and none of the add-ons unless I missed the option for those.
Yea - found that out as well. Add-ons are obviously not subject to be included in the 4 payment option as they have in prior years. Was quite a sticker shock to me.

My thoughts on PG Music's 2022 BIAB upgrade options.
Based on the 2022 BIAB Options/Features chart as published in the web site, and if I'm correctly interpreting it, I believe the following would be correct?
For an existing 2021 BIAB user, who has all the UltraPAK options:
1)the 2022 PlusPak at $99 would be the best deal unless you also want the 2022 Bonus PAK which would be an extra $49.
2)However, if you do want the 2022 Bonus PAK, then the 2022 UltraPAK upgrade ($149) also includes the 2022 Bonus PAK; allows the use of the 4-pay option for the full $149; AND provides the full up-to-date UltraPAK data files as a backup to one's installation (or to do a fresh installation should some files be missing/corrupted). I also believe that PG Music allows licensed UltraPAK users to be able to re-download their purchased products should it ever be needed. In summary, the better deal.
3)If you do the full UltraPAK upgrade, there is an option of getting the pkg on a thumb-drive USB stick for $15, or (as in past years) on a USB external disk drive of about 150Gb for $25, which would provide a reusable utility hard drive if you later erase the PG Music data for a mere $10.
I typically would keep the most current UltraPAK on the USB hard drive and erase/reuse past ones which are very handy to store source/installation zip files from various plugins, sounds, software off the main PC drives and safely keep them in a safe locations for disaster recovery purposes.

Not sure you are correct. The Bonus Pak included with these is the free 6 Pak which also comes with the Plus Pak. The 49 Pak is an optional additional purchase when you buy any of the above.

Thanks @Vintage, sound like I do misunderstand the "Free 6 PAK" versus the $49 Bonus PAK. Glad I posted this before I did the purchase and would have been disappointed.
