For pricing of Spectralayers 7 they may well increase the price to match the cost of:
Infinity by Hit n Mix https://hitnmix.com/
Melodyne 5

If they add many new features to SL7 well then the price increase may well be justified.
Look at what Steinberg sells Wavelab for: A lot of $$$!
This got me thinking that I should take the deal:
Sound Forge Pro 14 Suite
https://www.magix.com/us/music/sound-fo … =pro-suite
$250 upgrade price. Valid until June 28, 2020
For me this is a better deal the getting Samplitude Pro X5 Suite with SF13 and SL6/7 for $250.
