Yup, this is where I'm at.
I plan on continuing to use SAC through next January. I'll play around with AMP at home; it *is* beta test, and I'm not going to rely on beta test software for my shows; yes, AMP might actually be more reliable for some than SAC, but other than forgetting how to use SAC (two weeks ago I used it for the first time in about six months and it was amazing how much I forgot) I've not had any major problems with SAC over the past year and a half.
It was worth paying $300 just to play around with it (and try out some ideas I have for control surfaces and user interfaces -- we'll see how well this goes with AMP).
On the SAC side, I've decided to pay the $100 and get the upgrade. Largely because it would be hypocritical of me not to do so. I've constantly mentioned that Bob L ought to charge for upgrades, it would seem kind of rude to bail out on SAC when he starts doing that. Plus, I sure could have used the monitor view last weekend. My main concern is having to deal with new bugs that have (undoubtedly) been introduced into SAC 4.0.
