Grey Matter have extended the upgrade offer until the end of March. So all you lot who have actually bought XE tell me are there enough goodies to speed up productivity to make it worth spending £356?

I am seriously not interested in unicode, in fact its a negative for me.

My current rationale is that I've missed out two versions so far (D2009 & D2010). If I miss another couple te savings have more than paid for having to pay full price if I ever want a future version.

There are only a few 3rd party components where I'm bothered about keeping up with the latest version (ElevateDB, WPTools) the others are working well or have been modified by me anyway.

There are a lot of little goodies sprinkled throughout the VCL RTL, and IDE,
not to mention the compiler improvements with functionality like generics.
I keep finding stuff all of the time, like being able to queue
synchronization calls for threads, processor counts for threads, spin locks
and other synchronization improvements, etc.  There are also lots of
improvements for Windows Vista/7 functionality.
