I am not aware of any software product which offers extra functionality at an (approx.) 1300% mark-up or designates this extra functionality as exclusive.

It is a moot point, you decide this and in no way am I trying to insinuate that you do no have valid (economic) reasons behind it but the rationale does grate at the "completionist" bone in my body which wants the entire functionality.

Heres a question (well, actually, four):

What companies currently use the Crystal version; maybe there is one I could be become a "valued" consumer of and get a copy of theirs?

Also, is the intention for future upgrades to work on the Crystal version? If, for all intents and purposes, I "bought" this version via consuming something from one of the above-mentioned suppliers and receiving, what are my chances for upgrading with more fish, etc at a later date? Would I have to go back to the 3rd-party company and grovel for them to get the new version?

Thanks in advance,
Paul.
