16 months after introduction of CC, I'm curious to know your feelings about the rental and bondage model of CC. Was it worth it? I know that by not going the rental route but remaining on CS6 Master Collection, I saved $ 1,500 (based on European prices) but forfeited the new 'features and bugs'. I'm glad I did not spend all that money on rent, but how about you? Did you get your money's worth from the rental? In hindsight, was it worth it? And in 3 or 5 years time, what do you think, after spending another $ 1,800 (US, 3 years) or $ 3,200 (Europe, 3 years) up to $ 3,000 (US, 5 years) or $ 5,400 (Europe, 5 years) and having to pay each month for eternity? Of course, if your boss foots the bill, you don't worry about that, but what if you need to pay the bill? Still an attractive deal? I found this diagram on the internet and that pretty much says it all: This does not take into account the possibility to BUY from MainConcept or Cineform extra plug-ins that add codecs for new camera formats not supported in CS6. As I said, just curious.
