EOD version were not existing at the begining, and they have  been
discontinued 2 years ago.
This explains the $1444 upgrade price ( you are enforced to forget the EOD
concept when upgrading).
However, Omega  currently proposes a SWP upgrade to TS2000 that is a $ 500
saving.

Considering that you own SWP  AND TS4 EOD, that EOD does not exist anymore,
and that SWP is an old program, you may try to ask them for an extra  $500
rebate for the upgrade to TS2000, if you send  them back the SWP block.

Just an idea that could make sense for EOD users that own SWP too, and after
all,  a question never killed anyone.
