You might buy just to find out it cannot be authorized and will then be asking for your money back.
There is thread where you can still get Home Studio free with a magazine subscription. THey seed to manage to get it working but seemed complicated.
Be happy you have X3e. It is as good a DAW as many.
You'll be disapointed in most of the other DAW's you can certainly try the demos like many of us did and returned to Sonar. X3e will work for you untill you no longer have a Computer that runs a supporting OS= 10-15 years from now, unlike the versions that came afterwards which are doomed unless they unlock them from needing the server.
X3e is where I will go before I switch to another DAW if Splat goes down.
There really is no reason to spend more money unless you really don't like what you have or feel you need a new toy.
