It's a shame you're being forced to make a choice. In the Good Olde Days
Chessbase used to include the old programs and/or engines with newer versions.
For instance, the Fritz 4 package included Fritz 3, the Fritz 5 package included
the Fritz 3 and Fritz 4 programs as well as a Fritz 1 engine. The original
version of Fritz 5.32 included the same packages as Fritz 5, but the modified
version excluded Fritz 4. Fritz 6 only includes a Fritz 5.32 engine, and nothing
else. It would be "good style" for Fritz 7 to include the Fritz 6 engine -- does
it?

As for myself, there's no question about it: I'll be buying Fritz 7 in the next
few weeks... but then again, I'm a computer chess junkie :)
