More importantly, to my mind, is deciding whether you're going to go GUI 
or not.  Since, as folks have pointed out, ADTS is "stabilized", you 
*will* be going to the GUI at some time if you continue forward on the 
i.  (If not, this is a moot question, no?)

That being the case, do you pay to switch now (while there's a discount) 
or do you wait until later?  Maybe there will be a discount, maybe there 
won't, maybe the switch will be free.  I don't know.  But if you don't 
switch, you pay for the loss of productivity every day and in my 
estimation that's a pretty good example of penny wise and pound foolish.

P.S. Note I'm not discussing WDSC.  WDSC is dead.  It's gone.  Out of 
service as of next April.  Use at your own risk.  The only question for 
shops moving forward is ADTS or RDi, and as I've noted before, the 
Search featuer alone pays for the price of the tool.  But that's just me.
