I'm not getting X2, nor did I get X1. 8.5 does everything I want it to with total stability. It's not going to make me a better guitarist/singer/songwriter, so I'm staying with what I have. Yes, I know it's blasphemy to some, but I just don't have the time for the learning curve.

yup... I did move from MC4 to X1 essentials .... but I now face the impenetrable wall of the 32 bit vs 64 bit applications. Everything I currently run in the studio is 32 bit....and with most everything coming out now for 64 bit ..... I'm running out of options to upgrade without an OS upgrade to match..... then it's replace all the 32 bit stuff with 64 bit stuff so that matches and runs properly...... no, I think I'll be here in 32 bit land until I'm forced to make the move. By then it will all be 128 bit stuff....
I agree, while it's nice to have the latest and greatest, (or is it?) the new stuff doesn't make the songs sound any better, and it certainly doesn't make your writing skills better. Those skills are in the head and the heart, not the box. Sure, it may have some new tools but sonically, The music sounds pretty much the same.....
Digital... from the MC series to the Sonar Producer flagship... man... it's all good.
