Not currently as the upgrade prices are discounted for the new release and the holidays. The British Channel sounds sweeeeet, judge it on the sound and I know you'll love it.

I just tried it. 

It's hard to be totally objective because I've always dug the SSL channel strip type of lay out so much, it seems to suit my way of working - one GUI, a couple of knobs and you make due w/ that. 

But I'm liking what I hear. 

Yeah, me too. Before this I have never really used an SSL styled channel strip and I haven't been able to NOT use this. I like having the EQ, HP/LP filters and compression all in 1 plug in.

Cool ain't it, X2 has 'em built in on every channel, in case you hadn't seen Sonar lately and forgotten what it looks like...
 
The Pro-Channel stuff sounds really good too although I must admit the UI doesn't have the garish toy-town charm of the IK product.  Which to my mind is a must have. Besides Logic users will love it if they need a bit of SSL emu stuff that doesn't already come in the box as supplied to Sonar users...

I can at least think of one Logic user who will certainly appreciate the fact that he can also use the British Channel plug-in Pro Tools or any other app. ;)

As for the GUI - I trust IK will eventually improve it, just like they've listened when people complained about the gain structure in the Black-76.

Yep, I agree they will make improvements to the look, I think if they are going to build a multi-department shopping mall on your very own desktop it will likely pay them to get it looking right.

I actually like the Custom Shop. I've just upgraded T-RackS from deluxe to grand. A matter of a few clicks and I'm all set.

I remember not so long ago mentioning that I'd like to see IK upgrade CSR and make it a bit like Amplitube, that is, w/ à la carte models. So that's a step in that direction.

Thanks for the kind words guys! :) The updates to the Black 76, White 2A, The Custom Shop and bringing CSR to 64 bit were all big projects and we're happy you guys are happy with our hard work. :)
