Some exciting stuff, for sure, but I was looking for a deep Matrix overhaul as a primary reason to renew (thankfully, I'm still covered for updates until this summer, though). Really hoping we see a Matrix related announcement before it is my time to make a renewal decision. Otherwise, my money will have to go to Abelton in order to get the functionality I want. I'd rather not have two DAW's, though!
The above said, I certainly don't dispute the value of the pending announced updates.
