Now, think of Adobe Photoshop vs Adobe Elements. Of course there is no upgrade path from Adobe Elements to Adobe Photoshop-- but in fact Adobe Elements is mostly just a subset of Photoshop functionality. Similar problem.

There is an upgrade path from Elements to PS.

Full price: $699

Upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS2, or CS Adobe Photoshop CS4 US$199
Adobe Photoshop Elements (Mac OS) 6.0, 4.0, or 3.0 Adobe Photoshop CS4 US$599
Adobe Photoshop Elements (Windows®) 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, or 4.0 Adobe Photoshop CS4 US$599

Via the upgrade root PS CS4 is cheaper.

Adobe has always allowed an upgrade to the full version of Photoshop from Elements for as long as I can remember.

I have V6I and I am also unsure about upgrading. I do not agree with not being able to upgrade from Complete to Infinite either and so probably will not upgrade at the present time until I see what is happening with this.
