It is hard to talk about the different models without specifics. For example, if the subscription price was low enough and guaranteed not to increase for the life cycle of that version, I might consider it. I really need to know ALL THE DETAILS before I could make a decision. I will say, however, that, as a hobby user, the subscription price would have to be low to a point that Steinberg probably couldn’t justify letting it go for that price.
So, bottom line, I don’t think SB could offer a subscription price low enough to get me interested.
