This isn't like going from CF5 to CF6 where there was a complete rewrite: the core of CF7 is just plain old CF6.1 + patches. For this reason alone it *shouldn't* cost you anything more to upgrade tomorrow when there's a real need rather than today. What I said was that if you don't need any of the CF7 features, then using CF6.1 will be just fine because if it's all you're using then the extra expenditure of buying a copy of CF7 isn't worth it. This comes with the assumption that you've got unused CF6.1 licenses about. > You'll get more mileage out of going straight to > CFMX7.

That sounds like the SUV argument: I must have the most powerful car out there because I *might* need to go offroad or drive through artic tundra! Sure, I live in suburbia, but you never know when a mountain'll crop up between home and work. :-) Ok, so I'm being a little facetious, but when it comes to CF7 there's truth in the joke: it's a matter of YAGNI. If you're not going to use those features today, it's a waste of money. As developers, it's nice to have all those baubles and shiny bits to play with, but if the upgrade can't be justified in terms of cost then it's not worth it.
