They always give this discount for rapid renewal.
As to whether it's worth it, that's a moot point. Problem is if you
don't renew and try to skip a few updates, they really screw you.
As you've had Jaws almost as long as me, you'll remember the scam they
pulled in the early days, making you pay for Jaws 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.7
all in the same year! At least it ain't that bad any more.

Dear list,
Just got my letter about renewing my Jaws SMA.... I've been around since
Jaws 3, I reckon I've shelled out close on £2000 in SMA's and now the
going rate is another £180 if I take it before Dec 31. If not then it's
£200... just ram it right up the blind community why don't you?
Why are they allowed to ramp up the price by twenty quid in a couple of
months, if it's £180 now, it should be £180 up to the next upgrade. I
must have paid for my screen reader three times over.
Are they really making big strides these days or are they just adding
bells and whistles that the average user will never use or need.
Well if NVDA continue to improve their product which is growing in
popularity, here's one person who will dump this total rip off very soon.
Just felt like a rant, phew!
Cheers,
Robin Clayden.
