Is FM8 --> FM9 worth the money?

[Cathy Arthur]

Hi,

We upgraded because of the free SDL AuthorAssistant, which we are using
to improve both consistency and readability in our docs. We are too
small for an editor at this time. 

We are a group of 5, and everyone here likes the new interface. We use
both structured and unstructured docs, but not DITA. There have been no
issues with either format.

Does anyone with /extensive experience/ with FrameMaker 9 think it is 
worth upgrading from FM8?  I downloaded the trial and played with it a 
bit and like the new menus.  But was any substantially or even slightly 
useful functionality added that makes it must have?

Regards,
Hedley
