XMetal Author Essential 7 vs. XMetal Author Enterprise

[BigRed1]

I have been attempting to contact the N. American Sales rep (Justin?) but haven't been able to get through or get a call back. My question is, what is the difference (pros and cons) for purchasing XMetal Author Essential 7 (with DITA 1.2 support?) versus waiting for XMetal Author Enterprise 7 to come out? Or have I mistaken the naming of Author Essential? Is that the new Author Enterprise? Please explain the differences.

The two products are the same except for the following additional features included with XMetaL Author Enterprise:

DITA authoring
Integrated copy of the DITA Open Toolkit
Integrated and fully licensed copy of RenderX XEP (for producing PDF via the DITA Open Toolkit)
XMetaL Connector (required for most CMS integrations)
Integration with XMetaL Reviewer

If you need one or more of these features you need XMetaL Author Enterprise.
