Premier Pro 1.5 upgrade advice please

[John]

I am currently using Premier 6.5 but considerimg upgrading to Premier Pro 1.5 and have seen web adverts for different versions at grossly different prices.
Pro 1.5 upgrade @ approx £75
and Pro upgrade for v 6.5 @ £175
Is this correct - are there 2 versions?
I don't mind paying the price but I don't want to be ripped off.
thanks
John

PPro came after 6.5 - and 1.5 is an upgrade to PPro. You'd be jumping 2 steps when moving to PPro 1.5, hence the price hike.

I haven't looked at upgrade prices, but £175 doesn't sound too bad for the latest version. No doubt Adobe are working on the next step - so maybe you'd be better off waiting for that.

1.5 is lovely to use, but personally, I still think 6.5 was intuitively faster to work with. Things like mattes are applied differently, as is transparency.

Isn't there a trial download? If so, why not give it a whirl, and decide whether it appeals?

Many thanks Tone - that explains what I wanted - & i think you're right it may pay to wait for the next upgrade especially as I'm quite happy with 6.5 at the moment.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
