Reading the reviews of the C7.0.5 update, it seems that things are still needing some work. Really sorry to hear this, Steinberg, and I can’t imagine the next step in that process. To me, its all about the mixer and C6.5 has something that I enjoy working with, hence my urging(s) for a/the last C6.5 update.
BUT HERE’S AN IDEA. 
If the C6.5.5 update is ready to go, and Variaudio is fixed as promised - along with a few other improvements that others have noted - then charge me for the download. Is it worth $50 to you, Steinberg? Sure, I will pay $50 for this. Anybody else? Of course it would be available to C7 users without any additional payment.
My concern at this point is that C6.5.5 IS ready, but the marketing of C7 is stalling it’s release.
So heres a compromise that I can get behind, please consider it.
