well for me it dosent work that way
yes i agree to have a program 400-500 points stronger makes sense to improve
ones game
after that..to have a program 600,700 1000 points stronger add on and on really
provides nothing to the learning experience

to buy 5 stronger versions of CM(6K,7K,8K,9K,10K)WHEN 5500 is already perhaps
500 points stronger seemed to be just silly for me
add this to 5 versions of Fritz another 6 versions for Shredder etc etc and i
would have  nearly 20 programs that can beat me just as easily as the original 3
i think people upgrade for different reasons then to get a equal or stronger
opponent

Like Bill Clinton  wrote in his newly released memoir "My Life" he had sex with
Monica "because he COULD"
I think many people automatically rush out without even thinking why they are
upgrading  because they CAN
