I`ve got v1. Haven`t used it much apart from the tutorials and examples. Looks very good. It needs a GUI like SCALA I think. Yes its nice to have the scripting, but it shouldn`t be all scripting. If this was done in a GUI it would sell bucket loads more than it does right now, and it would be much more accessable for the average user. Still worth buying though.
I qualify for the upgrade thing, so may soon get the upgrade, even if I haven`t used v1 much yet. :-)
