Pretty much what I reckon as well TBH. It all depends what differences there are between PT11 & PT11HD to see if it's actually worth it.

Before todays bombshell I was going to go PT11 + Apollo. It now looks as though I may be ditching PT all together as there's no way I'm forking out for Avid hardware.

I suspect there may be quite a few CPTK licenses appearing on Ebay in the very near future.

But, we live in hope & tomorrows Q&A might bring better news...

Well I stuck with 9 because 10 wasn't 64 Bit. Looks like a wise decision and now is the time to buy 10 so that when 11 is available I'll do the "version skip" directly to it.

BUT before I do, I need to know if there will be Delta 66 or 1010 drivers available as well as AIR STRIKE, Hybrid, Structure and few of their other products available as AAX.

AIR has announced ALOT of their stuff will be there on Day 1 but nothing on STRIKE or Hybrid tho an attendee at the NAB said they saw a new version of STRIKE there; new interface and purported to be running under 11.

I'm just a serious hobbyist but I really feel for those who have a tone of $ invested in RTAS.

Now Avid has said they are "not supported" but last night in the online conference I asked if RTAS plugins would "RUN".

The question was not even allowed to show up in the Q&A stream that was being fielded quite well by their staff.

That tells me the answer is "No".

Avid made clear a year and a half ago when PT10 was released that it would be the last version to support RTAS.

So the answer is definitively "no", and it shouldn't be a surprise. RTAS would never work in the new 64bit architecture.

And AIR is working on updating all their plugs to AAX. And yes, Strike AAX was shown in the video, as was AAX versions of Arturia, Toontrack, and Waves, even though they've not announced a timeframe yet for release.
