There is an aspect of Finale's pricing that I suggest is a problem.  As a person who is considering buying an upgrade, I have a great incentive to wait.  I'll get a better product for the same price.  I only upgrade about once every 7 years or so, because overall, that costs me less.  Why not have more tiers depending on how many versions a person is upgrading across?  If very new version were a $25 upgrade from the previous version, I would probably upgrade every time.  I'd suggest something like $25 per version, up to a max of the current upgrade price which usually sits around $120.

As it is, I really wanted version 25, but I'm waiting because I think a lot will be cleaned up in the next release and I don't want to pay the entire amount twice.
