Upgrade Discount For Sonar Users

[62strat]

Dear Digidesign - Just wondering if you are considering a strategy of allowing substansial upgrade discounts to Sonar users - if that would be technically feasable.

I use Sonar XL 2.2 and am happy with it - to the point of not bothering with further Sonar updates (can't see the added value vs added drian on desktop resourses). If I could switch over for a minimal cost I would consider this now (pending testing the demo on my DAW config and deteriming if workflow advantages exist).

I like the ability to have portability with studios but really don't want to pay full dollar for the software until I think I will be producing an album I will want pro mixed/mastered.

Might be a valuable strategy to entice folks like me to switch and lock me into the pro tools stream early (I see it as buying into a system - much like if you buy a digital SLR at an entry level you lock into their system for future lens purchases). Otherwise I may just be happy where I am.

I thought existing LE owners would be in first in the cue - but we're not (thanks Digi)
so i wouldn't hold much hope for Sonar users...

Iv'e seen M-Powered PT go for as little as $249.00 so I doubt you'll see any crossgrade prices.

Since your not buying Didgi hardware for this version your not locked into anything.You don't have to switch hosts with M-Audio hardware which I think is the whole point of PT M-Powered.
