I think it could be interesting if it happens. Well CM5k, 6k & 7k all had the same Engine & still sold, so I'd expect them to spend 50% developement money on a new Box, & 50% on GUI, tutorials, little movies, bells & whistles, etc, for about three upgrades. After all strengthwise the current engine will Always beat 95% of humans, it will just slowly beat less & less other programs. I'm not knocking them for that, as long as they try hard with the bells & whistles, & provide the enhancements their public wants, then not increasing the engine strength from (say) 2500 to (say) 2550 shouldn't matter to most of their customers.
