shielding and health

[Shannon]

I’m not so much into the discussion about discounts and free upgrades for the new MIR version, because it doesn’t seem appropriate for a program that came out a long time ago.

But there is something else I’d like to know – the approximate price of the new version.
And: Will 2.1 still be available after the release of 3?

Because: Let’s assume the new features will raise the cost a lot (I have absolutely no idea what that means, but the improvement of the sub itself seems to be huge), and at the same time 2.1 will not be available anymore, then I might be left without any buying option for the moment …?

Older versions of products are generally replaced.  

MIR 2.1 is a 5.5G sub, and is therefore priced at the 5.5G price of $114.95.  

MIR 3.0 will be 5.75G.  Shannon has not yet increased the price for 5.75G from $114.95, so the price would be the same (unless he raises the price of 5.75G beforehand).

Right now is not the time to be raising prices.  So MIR 3.0 will be released at $114.95 a copy, and when things are favorable, then I will deal with price changes.  Since v2.1 is so much less advanced, and the same price, why would people want it after v3 is released?  The only point for keeping it is, "We know what it can and cannot do."  

So since the price isn't going up, and the program has gotten so much more advanced, powerful, complex, capable... I don't see a reason to keep v2.1 available after 3.0 is released.
