I recommend you wait for a demo or you got the 30 day window. It is really a personal decision whether you think it's worth it to upgrade. The pro has more than standard of course. It just came out and supposedly many of the beta bugs are supposed to be fixed, but you are better off determining that for yourself. They list the features they have added so that you can see.

Sparrow,
I am very sorry to hear that. Lot of that going around. I hope things will be ok for you.

No need to think outside the box....
