Does X1 Production Suite upgrade to X2 Production Suite?

It is not a downgrade. The Production Suite was X1 Producer Expanded with some extra stuff bundled with it. The features of X1 Producer Expanded have been folded into X2 Producer. The extra stuff bundled with the Production suite will still work with X2 Producer. There is no X2 Production Suite.

I went through the dumpster outside Cakewalk and found a print out with the planned names of the next series of Cakewalk Sonar Producer products. I'm happy to share those here. 

X2A Producer
X2B Producer
X2C Producer Expanded
X2D Production Suite
X2E Deluxe Production Suite
X2F Enhanced Super Deluxe Production Suite
X2G Enhanced Super Deluxe Production Suite with Extra Strength
X2H New and Improved: Organic Enhanced Super Deluxe Production Suite with Bioflavonoids

That's what I'm worried about. I've got Expanded... now I'm "upgrading" to Producer? Is there gonna be another Expanded for X2? Time will tell, but this is making me a bit skittish to jump on the pre-sale.

Expanded was really nothing more than Sonar X1.5 IMO. It was an upgrade/update that added functionality that is now being carried forward to the next upgrade/update!
I'm amused that it was perceived as some sort of add-on or new product line. But that's just me!

I currently have X1 Production Suite and would like to move over to X2. Is my only option to downgrade from Production Suite to Producer? I there indeed such a product as X2 Production Suite?

The features of Producer Expanded are incorporated into X2 Producer, as stated above. That's why people who already have Expanded or the Suite get a lower upgrade price for X2 than those who have vanilla X1 Producer.
The extras you get with the Suite (e.g. PC4K Expander/Gate, Z3TA+2) can still be used with X2, so in no way are you downgrading.

Only if you choose to install this copy of DimPro. If you are already running the latest version, why would you want to install it all over again? Is DimPro 64bit any different than product version 1.5.0, file version 1.5.0.11? If not why bother with it?
On a related note (and I suspect I will be asking this when the product is officially released), it would be nice if someone from CW could confirm that Rapture 64bit in X2 is product version 1.2.2, file version 1.2.2.7. That could save some time and bandwidth.
