Some of the features from Expanded are in this version like you may already notice. Some will be in Studio while the rest in Producer. So some of these features are redundant but makes a lot of sense to include them. My guess is that it will cost $99 for the Producer upgrade since it has more features than Expanded which cost $49. I don't see it being worth $179 but then again, they threw in Rmix to perhaps justify a price increase. My suggestion to them is to keep it at $99 and run a $49 promotion for the first 10 days.
