Ryan,
It seems your hesitation is based on (upgrading) program itself, not the content?

The upgrade for a program by itself from 2022 is only $49 (A price of a dinner for two at very mediocre chain eatery)
Crossgrades to Pro version from earlier years are also priced very reasonable.

I was pleasantly surprised that PGmusic did not raise their prices considering pretty high inflation that had been happening in the past year. I am sure that their cost of operation went up.

So by upgrading, you are not only getting a better software, but supporting a smaller company that is making a unique product.

Just my opinion.

P.S. To me a Non-modal, Alt+F8 (new approach) for partial regeneration is way better than previous, as you can navigate and do other tasks. Saves time and makes overall process much friendlier.
