Default HD Native/Ultimate perpetual-$$ moving forward?

After entirely too long poking around all the posts/info on the new PTs plans I'm still not clear what the path (and cost) moving forward is for someone with HD Native/Ultimate perpetual/HD Omni (that renews in December). I was told there won't be a price increase to keep my perpetual license, but at the same time I see that you must have "Flex" (+$) to run HD Native. What exactly will be my annual cost to keep the hardware I own and continue to have access to the latest version of PTs?

You don't need Flex.
Flex is a bundle of Ultimate with third party software.
The Ultimate part is all you need.

Flex is some stupid marketing term to convince perpetual Ult users they are missing out on something by not going subscription. No one is missing out.
