To a hobbist like my wife and I, shelling out 200 bucks to upgrade to P5 knowing that there are still bugs and not all the functions would be useful to us is out of question. If we have that kind of money we would have upgraded our computer first. The idea of a free or low cost basic program with plugins you can buy later sounds very attractive. The question is how the execution going to be, is it going to be problem ridden like the initial release of P5? Time will tell.
