Fair enough - I dont know what I am missing. You get the IDE improvements
though with the Professional version where the upgrade price was quite reasonable.
It was the upgrade to D4 C/S that I drew the line at. The difference in price between
repurchase and upgrade was way too low. (I frankly thought upgrade of D3 C/S
to D4 C/S should have been nominal given the grief the C/S components in 3 were)
I actually considered buying a Pro version from scratch to get the IDE version
as didnt want to use my C/S version to upgrade to mere Pro.
Anyway D5 has arrived so time to look at the budgets and business cases again...
