Avid crossgrade, get Symphony for 999$

Avid has a very interesting offer, running from now untiljune the 15 2012. They offer a upgrade price at 999$ from FCP 7 (not the FCPX) and media composer, go XprexDV go Exprexx Pro. My first thought was, hey are they join to stop Media Composer since it is the same price? but it seems that the will continue MC.

There are things to be aware of, even that it is a good offer, before you do it, look into the price of a support contract, it used to be higher for symphony that for Media Composer.
It can be a one time offer to get more editing houses using Symphony, but history shows that upgrade prices were higher for symphony that Media Composer.
When that is said, I would love to upgrade, you get a Media Composer on steroids, with a powerful color correction tools, among other things.

It is only online you can use the offer, and if you upgrade, you can't use your dongle for running Media Composer, but hey why would you do that :-)
