I have both DXP.SP3 and 99SE installed; detest going back to 99SE, love DXP
Yes there is a learning curve but I did not find it to hard.
So far I would rate SP3 DXP Stability similar to 99SE SP6

Subject: Re: [PEDA] Worth it to upgrade to DXP?


Steve,

For me, the multichannel feature alone is worth the upgrade. I don't 
think even Altium has really realized the potential of the feature*. It 
is not really about multichannel, but design reuse. I design analog 
stuff, and I have developed a collection of buffers, filters, volume 
controllers and so on. Creating a new design is very productive if there 
is any repetition. It is very cool to route one transistor switch (or 
whatever) and then copy the routing and relatively parts placement 
thirty times over.

*:If they would, you could draw a library of schematic symbols 
representing schematic sheets. Altium, please consider this! :-)

There are other improvements (for me, the polygon handling improvements 
are important), and lot of changes. There is a learning curve, but I'd 
say the upgrade is worth of the trouble. The controversial change is how 
global edits are done. The new way is more powerful, but can be slower. 
I'm ok with it, but it takes a while to get used to.

Juha Kuusama
