+1.
How about if both the standard version and the audiophile were both the same price with just an added cost to cover the larger drive, rather than simply promoting the audiophile as a superior product with an added cost for that?
Even though we know it probably is.

As I'm sure you know, the base program is the same for any version. The audiophile isn't a superior product as a program; it is superior because of the data (RealTracks and RealDrums) fed into it.
But I think the Audiophile version contains all the 'extras' except for those few separate purchase paks that were never included (such as Jeff Lorber). So while I agree with you, I would want to make sure about the exact details.
Some good suggestions have been offered here recently about alternate delivery modes, including flash drives, compressed lossless downloads, and shipping the drive back for reloading. It bears further exploration, especially for those who have VAT tax or more hard drives than they need.

+1 for a download file of just those changes since the last version - but any compression would HAVE to be lossless (otherwise why bother with the Audiophile version?).
Really interesting thread!
If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor.

The audiophile version requires over 1.5 TB of file space on the drive they ship. You get up-to-date versions of everything. I’m not sure how large a download of just the updated files each year would be, but it would be substantial.

The thing I like about having the hard drive is that I don't have to download Band in a Box to use it and I can save all the files on the drive and not have to worry about my computer loosing all the files. I do agree that most of the stuff you end up getting with the Audiophile edition each years is really just the same thing but this year's edition was worth the price of being able to have a VST version which basically gave Mac users RealBand.

Yes, +1 from me too! Paying full price again and again for most of the stuff we have paid for already seems unfair. Even if we had to download a half of a terabyte, we live in the 21st century and Internet speeds are fast. Downloading a half of a terabyte on a relatively slow connection is still faster than waiting days for a delivery by mail. Countries with connections that are too slow to download huge files are also probably not safe to send expensive Audiophiles to too.
Audiophile version owners are your biggest fans PGM! Please give us that consideration. Thanks.

I just had a look at the special prices for the 2020 release. To upgrade Audiophile 2019 to Audiophile 2020 is only US$199. This is just US$100 more than what the UltraPak 2019 to UltraPak 2020 and seems like a pretty good deal. https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm
