Absolutely I agree, no one needs xp/pro at home if you have the choice. My own opinion is that you should not buy the SMA either, as you're paying for a software product which you don't know if you want, nor do you know the quality of. If everyone did, there would be very little incentive for FS to turn out upgrades with significant new features, and which were relatively bug free.
