So I'm thinking of upgrading to Vue 6 and I was wondering if someone could give me some help deciding on which version to get. What are the differences between Infinite and xStream, for instance. Also, is there a way to upgrade to either of these versions from Vue 5 esprit?
Thanks for your help!

xStream is a plug-in for high end programs like 3DS, Maya, Lightwave, etc. If you don't have one of those programs, it's not any different than Infinite.
It's a great time to ugrade since e-on is having a 25% off sale. The bad news is that the upgrade to Infinite is not part of the sale. My recomendation is to upgrade to Vue 6 Pro, and than later upgrade to Infinite. Price for Vue 5 Esprit to 6 Pro is $187 for the download version. The upgrade from Pro6 to Infinite is $299.
It's $599 to go from Esprit 5 to Infinite 6. Going in two steps will save you money (187+299 = $486)...

This is exactly how I did it ... I upgraded my Vue 5 Esprit to Vue 6 Esprit. Then I bought all the modules which gave me Vue 6 Pro and then I upgraded to Vue 6 Infinite (and I got my Inf upgrade for $199 which was a real steal). I don't have a need for xStream so I didn't bother going that high.
