Is Soundtower worth getting and actively maintained?

[Ithax]

Hey,

Just wondering what other users' experiences are with Soundtower since it's so pricey (The exchange rate brings it to around $180 AUD/NZD), but the ability to read and manage patches and banks looks to be pretty handy.

Is it actively updated and maintained? Will it work with the new firmware?

It looks like there are a few bugs in the interface from the Demo version. (From what I can see, the octave split key returns the wrong value,) But this could also be symptomatic of the Demo Version.

Any user experiences with it before I drop the wad of cash? Any alternatives?

Cheers
