Which version of the upgrade should I get?

Which version of the upgrade do you recommend--Pro or Suite? The main difference for the Suite appears to be the add-ons.

How does the Boris Chroma key compare to the basic in Vegas, but more so to other options (cost $299 stand alone so the $100 cost seems good, but only if it works well).

Also the Rev 3 of the titling?  I usually don't use it--thought it was too much of a pain to use for basic titles. Anything all that worthwhile with the 3 version?

The motion detection video looked VERY convincing (esp for my goPro).

Reviews, thoughts?

I've been thinking about the same question.  In my case I do not own Mercalli so I think it's a no brainer for me to spend the extra $50 for the Pro since Mercalli works wonders.  As far as the Suite I was hoping it would include the latest Sound Forge but it no longer does (I'm still using Sound Forge version 9 and find the upgrade price a bit steep).  

The Boris plug ins look good but don't know if I'd use them much.  The Titler Pro is a previous version (3 instead of 4) and I've always found that program buggy when trying to use it in the past.  So I guess for me it comes down to whether the Boris plug ins are worth an extra $100.  I do know that the built in chroma key in Vegas is pathetic.  I usually use Adobe when I need to chroma key which is rare.
