this is a dilemma... If we "upgrade" to Pro, and then Vued esprit5 comes out with the features we "consumers' want, we are basically out of the Esprit loop....and into a more expensive upgrade path...but probably will not upgrade, especially if the focus is on high end integration...and at that point more than likely not wanting to pop another $150 or so on VuedEsprit 5. If we don't upgrade, and Esprit5 does NOT contain the requested great features, we are disappointed and also have missed the cheaper upgrade path to Pro... what to do what to do??? E-on, at least have some mercy and grant us the possibility of the $299 path to Pro if the next version of Esprit does not contain desired features.
