Compelling upgrade reasons

[DiegoFox]

I do mostly acoustic music. I have MBox2 and last PT8 version. Are there any compelling reasons for going to 9?

No

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

So, no cool never-seen-before features?

Most of the features are useful if you're doing gigantic pop productions, such as higher track count, delay compensation, and VCA tracks (with Complete Toolkit). Also basic timecode function for video/film. None of this will really be much use if you're doing acoustic stuff.

The only real reason is if you absolutely want to use a non-Digi/Avid interface. Then I suppose it would be worth the upgrade.

I think non-avid interfaces is a huge reason to switch. Also, the crossgrade may not be around forever. $250 is one thing, $600 is a whole other.
