Vue 10 Complete would be the closest version to Infinite. Vue 6 Infinite was the last version of that I was able to afford. It is unfortunate, but when the Hollywood studios started using Vue the price of Infinite went through the ceiling--even for upgrades. I thought I did see pricing for 10--but I might be wrong. I thought they were essentially going to be the same of Vue 9, except subscribers get a discount on upgrades. Another unfortunate thing is that you have to have a linear upgrade and can't down grade to a lesser version for the upgrade price--what they call an upgrade path. I had thought of going from Vue Complete back to Espirit--but I would have to pay the full price for Espirit and they wouldn't give me that upgrade price--and the regular price of it was the same as the upgrade price for complete. I also wish they would let you skip an upgrade and still get the same upgrade price--Photoshop and Sony lets you do that--but if you upgrade from an lower version than the one just previous the new release you have to pay a higher price. It's too expensive for me to upgrade every year all my software--but that doesn't mean I won't want to do it some time in the future.
