Personally, I find it best to just keep my SMA active and update once a year. Sooner or later you're going to have to update and when you do it is going to cost a lot of money. Therefore, I feel it's better it's to pay a small amount per year and enjoy the new and enhance benefits of each jaws release. JM all
