Upgreade 6PE to 8SE?????

Hi guys, here's the thing, I'm on Sonar 6PE and found I can upgrade to 8 studio for 99 bucks. I do think the stability and new midi editing might be in my favor, but really don't need Dim Pro and the plugs seem mostly the same. I only use a few plugs, Sonitus compressor, P. Space reverb and third party eq and limiter.

Is there anything else in the 8PE edition that's way better than 6PE or 8SE? Has V-vocal upgraded? Works okay in 6 and I use it once in a while on bu vox. How about audio snap? Mine glitches to the point of being unuseable. Is session drummer 2 a lot better? (I've got ezdrummer which I mostly use)

Please keep in mind that I'm old and grew up on reel to reels and mixers and hard effects then adats with same and then switched to Pro Audio 9 when computers started keeping up. There's a bizzilion features I don't need in Sonar, but would 8 studio, (if I can use 6PE plugs and such) be meaningful or are there some considerations in 8PE that I've missed?

Also, I've got a rock solid music computer but it's old P4 2.8 MGh on XP. No 64 bits for me yet.

    v-vocal was upgraded in S7, audio snap was updated as well, I believe.

    I upgraded from S6PE to S8PE and I really love it. but I do use the synths, so it might not be the same for you, I don't know. the audio engine is much more efficient and I really like that.

    here is a list of updates from S7:

    He wants to upgrade to studio, not producer. He wont have v-vocal, unless he used sonar 6Pe. I dont think its a good idea. I would wait a week or a month or 3 months until i could save the extra few bucks for it.
