I don't know if you can call it an upgrade going from one version to a different version of the same program. Maybe an update, though.
I upgraded from MC 2003 to MC Pro 24, but Pro 24 had significant differences from 2003, such as support for VSTs (if you bought Cakewalk's VST adapter), 24-bit compatibility and 4-input recording instead of just 2-input recording.
If you want to upgrade, you should get consider one of the X1 programs. They include more synths, effects and processes than MC and the ability to record more than 2 simultaneous inputs.
But, at the price MC 6 is going for now, it might be worth it just for the Sound Center and Studio Instrument Drums soft synths.
I have MC 6 but still use SONAR Home Studio 6 because there are things it does that I use often which MC 6 doesn't do. I especially like using keyboard shortcuts while in Staff view. MC 6 doesn't have as many of those shortcuts, or I haven't discovered how to enable them, yet.
