Well, MC6T was not free to everyone. In fact, it is definitely a stand alone product, and sells on Steam whereas MC6 does not. However, anyone who registered MC6 after a certain date gets MC6T free it turns out, a decision made by Cakewalk relatively recently. I'm guessing MC6 was buggy enough that after the release of Touch they just decided to provide newer product. So it is an upgrade for me pretty much. Like you said, problem solved though, amen and hallelujah and all that good jazz. Onward and upward.
