Aw, man! "Way cool" is no longer a valid argument? Since when? *vbg*
In all seriousness, John is 100% correct. None of these upgrade features
mean squat unless they apply to your workflow. Personally, I like to stay on
top of releases. But to justify FM 6 as an upgrade for my situation, I'd
have to say that book-wide commands and PDF setup alone saves me time. Plus
there's the benefit of having WWP SE around. (Though I strongly advocate the
use of WWP Pro for any "real work", SE is still a handy little application
to have at your disposal.)
BUT, if you're not going to use WWP SE to convert to HTML or XML, if you're
not going to use book-wide commands, and if you're not going to use the PDF
setup utility, then *my* justification won't work for you.
Look at the new features page that John and I posted and determine if any of
that is useful to you, then make a case based on that usefulness.
