Geoff,

  --  Going native WinXP appearance -- bug fix.
  --  More OSX appearance support -- either a bug fix or a very minor 
feature that isn't worth $299.
  -- Distribution builder fixes -- bug fix.
  -- Support for more Windows icons -- bug fix.
  -- Improved database controls -- is this new functionality (with new 
Transcript commands) or bug fixes?
  -- Numerous bug fixes -- bug fixes.

I don't mean to be a bore, but that list sounds like mostly bug fixes 
to me.

  -- Other feauture enhancements

Hmmm, not enough info to know if there are enough features to get 
current 2.1.2 users (e.g. me) to pony up $299 to upgrade.

Looking at the list you gave, personally I'd rather have a 2.1.3 with 
just the bug fixes.

Also, you mentioned a public 2.2 beta -- I couldn't find it on the web 
site anywhere -- is it really "public"?

Best,
