I bought mine at Comp Usa for $99 also. Considering the new features. Soft shadows New lighting editor, Including gradients Metaballs Very high quality rendering(slow but great) Depth of field Blurry transmissions Blurred reflections Rays per pixel choice Ray depth Tree Lab Improved terrain editor Higher resolution terrains And a few other features I can remember right now Yes I would say get it! I'm very satisfied with the upgrade now, sure it could always be better, but for the price I can't complain right now. Good luck kaom
