I upgraded as I heard all the good things about it. But when I did the edge i felt in 8.02 was lost. The same as when version 9.x was out. its not a night and day things but there is a edge a razor wire scratch to the sound I cant get from 9 or 10. Is it just me or have others noticed it as well? May some like the smoothness but for me and for playing 80's metal and hard rock it just wont do for my sound.
