Reasons to upgrade to Platinum from X3

Currently use X3, and trying to find out what new capability upgrading to Platinum would provide. Is there a summary anywhere on this subject?
 
I tried to find access to a users manual for the Platinum version but was not able to, seems like all the online Docs stop at X3.

    You could start with this
    https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Whats-New#start
     
    Then look thru this to get an idea of what a year can bring

    I upgraded from X3e last January.  IMO, the performance enhancements alone are worth the price of admission.  Throw in the rest and it's almost a no-brainer.
     
    If you're on Producer, check here to see if this deal is still available

    If it's not, it's the same price - today is the last day I think - at JRR shop. You'll need to log in to see the price...

    Sorry  - there is an online manual,  just overlooked it.
     
    Does anyone know if Platinum includes an mp3 encoder or do we still have to buy that separate?

    You have 3 options for MP3 encoding
     
    1.  Purchase from Cakewalk ($10?)
    2.  Use one included with a previous Cakewalk product such as PA9
    3.  Configure LAME (free)
