Bare-metal restore for home True Image

Acronis have just released add-on for Home True Image named Plus Pack which includes enterprise features - well, yes, it costs money, but as for me - the universal restore worth it! What is in Plus Pack:

-Restore to Dissimilar Hardware - allows to restore your data regardless of hardware
-Dynamic Disk Support - backup ad restore dynamic volumes
-WinPE Support - integrates latest MS drivers, apps & plugins on your bootable media

Here is the link to the addon - Plus Pack
And the data sheet

Graphics software: Picasa
Backup software: Acronis True Image

Well, yes, but
1) You can buy single stand alone licenses of the workstation product
2) You're saving a whole $9 over the workstation bundle and losing Premier support (Phone, Chat, etc) and a year of updates including major versions...

I'm not really sure that's such a great deal. Now, if the total cost was a savings of say, $30 or so, then it would make sense, but why not get the corporate product for all of $9 more to start with real tech support and free updates, and the ability to get real maintenance ~$16 a year to keep full support and all updates?

$16 is less than any update pricing I've seen from Acronis in the home market and they release a new version roughly yearly...

well, yes. your arguments are quite forcible, especially if I am new to acronis.. and sure, support is worthwhile.
but if I already have the home product, I'd better pay 30 for addon than 75 for the new workstation.

If it works as advertised, it's a really great feature.
