Hi everyone,
I have been using V21 of Studio 5K exclusively for the last couple years. I know they are up to V27 now. I am just wondering if it is time to start moving up to a different version? What are your thoughts?

I'm testing V27 with no problems so far.

We're just starting to use V21

I think the only major change since V21 is in V24 which they added the "logical organizer" in the tree and they revamped how program scoped tags work. After V24 my understanding is that they are just incrementally introducing new hardware support. So from what I gather, there isn't really anything compelling after V24 at this point, unless of course you are using the newer hardware that requires upgrading past V24.

v27 also includes the new View Designer for the PV5000's.

I avoid v21 like the plague because of the minor revision issue. I use v23 for preference at the moment, which is basically just v21 without that issue

Used V21 on a couple of small projects. Looking into V24 for our next install.

I haven't used it on a project yet, but what I saw of it at TechEd looked quite good. There will no doubt be plenty of headaches on the first release as with any new software, but it's got a lot of potential I think.

Mostly V21 but recently installed V24 for a project I'm working on.
