Any updates on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Especially any success stories.
I feel like companies willing to part with theirs would be smaller. But animal logic (in Vancouver) is dropping xsi after this current show. ( though they've rumored that before ).

I called autodesk daily ( and our CTO ) almost every day in March of this year and tried to get them to sell our company a new license but they stood firm against it, all the way up the chain.
