Just wondering which version I should get.  11.5 looked great.  I waited for the upgrade and would like to start on some projects in the next months.  It looks like they might have put more effort into getting the MX fuctions to work with other Magix software than to develop this software for it's own sake.  So I wonder if it is more similar to Music Maker now, and less advanced in other ways.  The price is a lot lower, even the more advanced of the 2 current versions at $99 is half the $199 that 11.5 was.

I'm looking to work on songs and acoustic sound sources, but also incorporate a lot of experimentation with midi and other technology/effects.  I mostly want everything to sound like real instruments, though, even if some are not.  I like things simple, but with a lot of advanced capability under the hood.  11.5 seemed like a good fit, but this new version seems like a very different product rather than an update of 11.5.

Does anyone have experience with both products or can shed light on the differences between them?
