Upgrade from CS2 ME to CS4?

A few years ago, I wrote some scripts (in JavaScript) that worked with InDesign CS2 ME. Now, the company wants to upgrade because the scripts only run on the two computers with CS2 ME, and they’re becoming a bottleneck. I’m trying to figure out which version I need to upgrade to.

Someone told me that CS4 (not ME) has support for right-to-left languages. Is he right? Does CS4 support bi-directional text, left- and right-bound documents, etc.? Will the template files I made in CS2 ME work in CS4?

Or do I need to stick with the Middle Eastern version of CS4?

as a user of cs4me - go and upgrade

the features works great

and the price is not so high for the upgrade (around 800$)

the scribedoor solution is new - it supposed to help opening hebrew and arabic files without changes

it is not native support

upgrade

cs4 is great!

Ah ... the classic "it depends" answer! But this tells me what I need to know.

Thanks!
