These platinum versions also come with all mechanical tools as well as architectural. They are quite nice. I saw the 18 being offered and it does really bump up the seep, but most of my drawings are rather mild, so don't take that long to render. I will likely wait again about 3 versions before an upgrade if I even do. This one pretty much does everything I need it to do.
