Or... don't upgrade at all. There are still enough places out there running Mix systems on G4s.
Necjam actually hits the point right on the head:

Right? But it's not like you're going to start getting angry at Bobcat because these attachments aren't "compatible"... you're going to keep working with what you got, and not buy either a new loader, or new attachments until you absolutely need them.
This philosophy is definitely the best way to look at it. If you really want to keep using Waves, and eventually upgrade to HDX... then you should stop giving money to BOTH Waves and Avid. If you support one, but not the other... you're giving one more credit when, let's face it, both tools are equally important to you. Avid shouldn't have to pay Waves anything, and Waves should realize that nearly everyone else is already on board with AAX. It's nothing more than a staring contest where no one wins.
The best thing you can do is sit it out, and keep using what works for you. Worry about upgrading when you know it will work.
