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...

Main Version
-- Advancements
---- Bug Fixes

3.0
-- 3.1
---- 3.1.1
-- 3.2
---- 3.2.1
---- 3.2.2
-- 3.3

I bet now they're going to do this...

Main Version & Advancements
-- Bug Fixes

4.0
-- 4.1
-- 4.2
-- 4.3
5.0
-- 5.1
-- 5.2
-- 5.3

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.
