Catching Up...A Few Questions

[Studio66]

Hello All...

I bought my 11R when they first came out.I used it for a while just stand alone with some studio monitors and headphones.
I had bad installer discs so the nice folks at Digi fixed me up with some downloads....that never got used...
All of this was a bit more than year ago and I was side tracked by some other issues...and my 11R just sat....but now I'm back.

I've been reading a lot of posts on here and man have things progressed!!!
But I'm also getting a little confused so..

I want to get the Expansion and I'm also getting a new machine so I thought I would pick up PT9 while I'm at it...so here is my question...

In what order should I do things starting with a fresh machine to get up to speed?

I will buy the Expansion.
I will buy PT9.
I will update the 11R firmware

Just want it all to be as seamless as possible...all this tech stuff makes me sweat :)...so I just want to make sure I do things in the right order.

Thanks all....sure sounds like you guys are having great results with the 11R and I cant wait to join in.
