I'did sidegrade to Vue5 and I will probably get Vue 5 Pro also even if it's just a hobby for me. ;) In my oppinion only two things are worth spending money on. The things that you absolutely must do and the hobbies. I mean, yeah it will cost me $99 (or rather $150 with tax and shipping as I'm in Europe) for about 3 months but that's still not more than $50 per month and what will that buy me. A trip to the Cinema, a dinner and some beer and if I'm lucky I will get drunk and forget that I could be home rendering instead. ;)
