That being said, I would probably buy the suite at half price if I could actually see it or at least see screenshots of it.

I was actually thinking that...

Jelsoft has been doing this with vB 3...

5.0

I am obviously exaggerating that a little, but I 100% think they'll make the release cycle quicker... And a quick cycle results in us all needing to fork out more money.
