Right now I've got iKey 1.0.7 doing everything I need it to. It even has a feature that I don't remember from QK for OS9 which is to click whereever the mouse happens to be. (I was able to use that to overcome a missing feature in Mouseworks for OSX). I do miss being able to click on a control by name or to click on it only if it isn't checked, etc. But I'm really quite happy. Finale works, MIDI works, ProTools works, Versavision screen rotation works. Why mess up a good thing?
When I was young I jumped at every upgrade. After being burned once too often, I just don't do it any more. You can talk about this or that upgrade being worth it, but I have a policy, and on balance I think my policy is the right one.
I once heard a great comment about sailing that I think is analagous. A superior sailor uses his superior judgement to avoid situations that require his superior skill. The same is probably true of computer professionals.

Yeah, that true too, we're all correct! It all really depends on your individual needs. I think you'd get enough significant improvement in producivity out of QK X3 if, like me, you use it a lot, and have it do serious donkey work.
Having lived with OK X2 and OK X3 I'd say you had a compelling reason to upgrade the OS to get to QK X3. Wouldn't a few days tweaking put right any problems you have with the UI etc?
