all depends, remember, you may not get an upgrade form a WAY earlier version with any software, usually you only get allowed to upgrade from maybe 1 or 2 steps before or it's on a lsiding increase of cost. I went from CS2 photoshop to CS4 and that was a good upgrade, finally photoshop was actually enjoyable to use, omg why has it taken Adobe that long ot get a decent UI!!

also, you have to think if the upgrade adds things of worth to YOU, and that is up to the individual, not you or I.
V8 versus version 6 is a huge increase, render times are hell of a lot quicker, plus other stuff.

I'm not happy about the bloody prices, ugh. But, oh well, that's life nowadays :/ As I've said before I'd rather the # of versions was cut, and prices dropped by about 1/3rd.

Go have a look at Dax Phandi's gallery on Deviant art and get back to us, HONESTLY, on whether Vue can create good scenes, or not  ;)
