Price change in upgrade for MC 5.5 to MC 6

From the 1 of April 2012 the upgrade price from MC 5.5 to MC 6 will change from 299$ to 499 $ and it is only the download version (wich contain the same software as the boxed version). The boxed version has all the time been 499$ and will stay that way.
So if you are considering to upgrade to version6, to get 64 bit, AMA for AVCHD among other things, then it could be an idea to do that before the 1 of April.
