Has anyone downloaded this yet? What do you think? On paper it seems a rather minor upgrade?

Indeed Ian and the reason I have not bothered to download and will probably wait for 6 before upgrading.

I think they have now got to the stage with LR where they cannot add a lot of features without taking sales away from CS, a situation I imagine they are trying to avoid.
