bummer Lynn.... I, for one, am not looking to upgrade to Vue Pro as an upgrade to Vue dEprit, but as an opportunity to purchase a professional level program with features I would like to have. Unfortunately for you, and for me, I cannot justify my wallet by purchasing a product that is not fully functional at this time...yes , you are working on the problems, and you will fix them. However, the pricing right now at $299 for Vue 4 users is very attractive, but even at that inexpensive cost, I will not hand over my cash on a product that needs repair...and that is what is unfortunate to me..and to probably quite a few others sitting on the fence, waiting to see the release conditon of the Pro product...and now also realizing E-on will not extend the discounted pricing. So, you have an opportunity to upgrade many of the Esprit owners to Pro, but they will pass because of its current condition...and will pass even though the price is now right...but will not buy at the higher normal price. This also puts me in the position of a big IF on upgrading my Vue 4 to 5... it greatly depends on what added features are present, opengl function, and so forth. Plant editor..you already stated before..no...so already strikes against Vue 5... the price is not the only issue...but with purchasing Vue Pro it has become the issue under the circumstances..at least for me...I can't write it off on an expense account or as work related expense. But no fear...I have already realized I'm not going to buy Pro....unless the introductory price is extended to when the issues are resolved.
