I'd say yes. Especially if you are working with HD.

Oops sorry, I didn't mention that I'm not doing HD (yet).

Well, you may want to check what Sony added (or corrected) .. but my view of this .. unless there is a reason (like something doesn't work .. or dosen't work properly) I usually upgrade every *other* version. I don't have the $$$ to upgrade every program each time there is a new version.

I'm running VMS 8 so I didn't bother with getting 9.

You are running 7 .. it's up to you.

For the moment, stay away from VMS9. It was released too soon, and there are many bugs, which, I'm sure, in the future will be dealt with.
Also, sony chose NOT to upgrade DVDA (it is still version 4.5) so you cannot create blu-ray discs with a menu. They also removed Newblue FX, which I think is a sad thing.
On the positive side, VMS 9 now comes with a interesting Cinescore plugin, which allows for royalty free score.

I am using VMSP ver. 9 a couple of hours every day and, to me and my work, it is just rock stable and totally reliable.

I admit, I still use vms 8. So I'm not speaking first hand. Won't edit my message for sake of authenticity.

VMS9 is stable now, except its h.264/avchd exporting thing.
