Doing the maths, mid year upgrade is $99 download option from previous year, end of year is $99 download option provided you upgraded mid year TOTAL =$198

end of year upgrade from previous year (for once a year upgraders) is $139.

Therefore you pay the difference of $59 to have the use of the extra realtracks and program updates from about June to Dec.

At the end of the year both the mid year upgraders and the once a year upgrade wil have exactly the same thing, same program same realtracks.

As I said before you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I just do the once a year Dec upgrade myself and save the £59
