Flexi Sign 8.1 vs. Flexi Sign 8.5

[Capital Signs]

Ok, here goes...

I am thinking of upgrading to Flexi 8.5...

Can anyone tell me the biggest differences between flexi 8.1 to 8.5?

I hear the profiles dont transfer!!!

Any suggestions or remarks appreciated. Thanks. And is it worth the upgrade?

I use Flexi 7.6 for printing and i bought 8.1 and the profiles don't transfer.. I rather stick with 7.6 for the profiles.

The older profiles will work...you need to convert to legacy under the color profile when your right click on your printer in PM

I like 8.5 a lot better.

better interface for the production manager, I've never crashed yet.

Any other comments or opinions or differences between 8.1 and 8.5?

I use flexi8.1 only when it's the last resort. ield flexi files
Anymore, I find myself using x3, illustrator, and photoshop. I rip with versaworks as production manager in flexi takes forever to rip. I still feel violated for buying flexi!
RUN

I have had nothing but BAD LUCK since I upgraded. I NEVER once had a problem with 8.1. I upgraded to 8.5 and it has crashed on me at LEAST once a month. I lose all my profiles every time! I have to delete 8.5 and then reinstall. I have seen other threads on here where other people have had similiar problems.

I can't go back to Flexi 8.1 because whenever you upgrade it does something to the older version and you can't open it. I guess I could reinstall but who knows how that would work.

You lose everything in Production Manager too!!

This instance has become so frequent that I had to write me out directions on the steps to take to get it back to working so that I dont forget especially if I am in the middle of a big job!!

Oh and I have yet to see one difference in the two. Okay well minor things that I don't use anyway.. Three words DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

I love 8.5 It is a lot more stable on my machine than the old 8.1. It hasn't crashed in over a month (knock on wood). The new production manager interface is nice and there a a ton of controls. I can't compare it to 8.1 as I didn't have a printer when I was running 8.1.

Here is the new feature list.
