I think a lot of people use it for hobby. But I think Eon made it for serious people, too. If so, it has to be able to make those "pros" happy. We aren't all Guitta's ... LOL. But Eon has to think about the people that are. I'm in the same situation as you are...processor speed hasn't doubled so I don't want to get an upgrade. I'm sure it will become more stable as time goes by and one day you'll marvel at how stable Pro while complaining about Vue Pro Elite...hehe.
