All the new versions are to duke people into buying pro tools after market saturation. If everyone had the TDM systems then they couldnt sell more. Just like Yamaha NS10s. They dont care about your skills or projects, just putting food on their own table.

As to "new" features... Clip gain is just a faster way to process dynamic clips, If I am correct. I have Digitranslator, so if the project came in with clip gain, it can be preserved... I have really put thought into moving to 10, but....never...will. I spent $1000 on my entire TDM system... It is $1200 just to upgrade from 8 to 10. Plus all new hardware required if you go to 11+.
