I did and in a day of use, the workflow improvements alone were probably worth the 99. I was going to skip 5 and wait for 6, but the small price drop pushed me over the edge.

Considering it's doubtful the Lite upgrade will rise above $300 once v6 comes out, and that's what you'll end up paying on this deal anyway (if not more depending on the v6 upgrade price). Had it been $100 for the Lite upgrade and $50 for v1-4 path, I would have jumped at this in a second, and gladly sprung for the v6 upgrade when time comes.
