For two more weeks, they have a special offer where if you purchase a subscription at the normal price, you get upgraded to the ultimate version for life, if you keep your subscription current. It's $300/year for the base package, and the ultimate will be priced at $1200/year. So if you subscribe now, you'll get a $1200/year package for $300/year, as long as you keep the subscription active.
