Well here's a little bit of info:

Avid has maintained that cross grading from 8LE to 9 will cost less than buying say the new MBoxes that are now bundled with PT9. If you look up the changed prices, you could see that there was a significant price increase on the MBoxes.

So yeah, if they do implement this with the Eleven Rack, you may just wanna buy a PT8 version.

as already mentioned, if/when PT9 is included with the Eleven Rack (or any interface) the Price of the package will be significantly higher than it is right now to buy an interface with PT8 then do the crossgrade.

Bettin' that eventually 11R's will come with PT9 and the expansion pack bundled for some (10-15% maybe?) savings. That's when we'll know that something totally new is fixing to hit the street.
