For the upgrade your price is wrong, because you will still spend
some money to send the old CD. Rebel offers an excellent support
to theirs users, in my opinion this should also be transformed
in money.

I bought Genius6 (my first disappointment with Millennium) and I didn't make
the upgrade for Schreder4+Genius6.5+Nimzo2000 because I had to send the
CD (or the paper slip of the CD) to do the upgrade, and because I already had
Nimzo2000.

In the upgrade for Rebel 11 (I already did) you don't need to send anything
for them, everything is made through the internet.

A pity, I would like to buy Schreder5, because it is the only top program
that I never had, but it seems that Millennium is not knowing as pleasing
their customers.
