I have no favorites. Well, there are always new and good marketing ideas, but why would I buy $300 worth of stuff to get CM? I don't know about others, but I buy in spurts, and I never get close enough to 300. It's just easier and cheaper to go out to a dept. store and buy CM. I don't think people need an inducement to buy CM, it already has a good sales going for it, and for it's price and the features including the very strong engine (from what I have read here and elsewhere a bit), it will remain popular.
