The 8.0 version, used, I paid $1500.00 for of Ebay. The reason, we have 4 machines and you have to have a dongle key for each version. I really like 8.0 but frankly 7.0 version is just about the same. I use both. The rip on 8.0 takes alot of tweaking but is managable. If I ahd to do it all over agian. I'd stay with the 7.0 version.
