Me personally? I want Shredder 10 to be a worthy upgrade to Shredder 7.04, and
THAT would make me happy. Of course, it must also not be a downgrade to Shredder
9, in any aspect.  I would not have been so happy if I had actually bought all
of Shredders 7,8 and 9.

I would be prepared to pay $2-300 for upgrades of 150-200 elo points, but I'm
not so sure I would even want to pay 10 or 20 dollars for these small elo
increases, partly because of the money, but also partly because it is not so
interesting for me to adjust to something different to what I had been working
with, unless it's a very clear difference, which I can sense with every move.
