Hi Russ,

Last month PG Music were offering special deals on BIAB for Windows. Unfortunately, it would seem that the Windows special deal has now closed (it was advertised as on offer until 7/31/11). Since Mac BIAB 2011.5 came out later than the PC version, the Mac deal is still on the table.

As John has said, there's a huge difference between BIAB 2010 and 2011.5 Apart from all the added Realtracks, in the 2011 version, the audio stretching routine was changed to a superior process. Apart from much improved audio manipulation across a wider range of tempos, this change also resulted in RT's audio files taking up a third less space on the hard drive.

At this point in time, it might pay to wait until the Christmas upgrade swings around.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. If you did upgrade now, you'd probably only need the UltraPlusPak as that has all Realtracks and Realdrums. If you have the 2010 EverythingPak, you would already have all styles and tutorials, etc. (It would pay to ask PG Music about this, though.)
