There's a pretty good deal with Adobe Creative Cloud for Master Collection CS6 at the moment, especially if you have an Adobe Suite already, around $30 p.mth for first 12 months depending on where in the world you are located. You get all upgrades as they are released so software is always up to date.
If I was cynical I'd think Apple was deliberately driving the pro users away. I had to do 6 system rebuilds in the last year due to Quicktime issues. My partner teaches broadcast and media journalism at Australia's top university, they're having to abandon FCP due to growing number of students and it's availability. All future generations will learn on a different program. Those that don't go to film school will want to copy Hollywood and they won't be using FCP eX. I really don't think they've considered the marketing consequences very carefully.
So far I'm okay with Premier, only had it a couple of weeks, learning new way of doing FCP things, some things aren't so good but others are better and Adobe are listening and trying.
