I'm about to purchase 3D Max Design 2009...should I do it?

[3DIFX]

I am very close to purchasing the new 3D Max Design 2009. I am Viz user planning to make order this coming Monday. I've always wanted to upgrade to 3D Max and then this program comes along...not to mention that they are nixing Viz (a little extra push, I guess). I will be using with Revit sometime in the future. I've read a few discussion and am trying to do some research before I spend the money. Planning to download and try the demo. What's the bottom line when it comes to performance? I'm nervous about buying it and then wishing I had purchased 3D Max 2009 instead 'cause the prices aren't that far off. Does it work well with Vray? Is anyone out there using it yet? I would really appreciate some input here. Thanks in advance.
