I think, for many of us, buying the latest is just an addiction...
Personally, I will be tempted to buy only if a new version comes with new and
unique features, or at least significant improvements in GUI. Mere increase in
engine strength doesn't make sense (i.e. doesn't merit a buy) as I am not a
master or grandmaster who is out to play against stronger and stronger programs,
or able to appreciate program style or analysis fully.

Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting CM8000 (for its new winboard engine modularity). I
hope I will not be disappointed.
