Well, my fears regarding Symphony seem to have been fully borne-out. Another year of no differentiation.
In fact, Symphony now appears to deprecated to simply being an add-on to MC. Frankly, the logic of this approach kind-of makes sense -- as Avid could hardly afford to feature-cripple their flagship MC product in the current competitive landscape.
NOTE TO AVID:
If you are going to effectively charge $1,000 for a CC Tool add-on -- you had better start taking it seriously -- and you had better upgrade the tool at least once every 10 years. </sarcasm>
It is painfully obvious to all of us that the CC Tool was long-ago handed-off to the same crack team of hot-shot developers who have brought us an unending stream of revolutionary Title Tool innovations.
Compared to its competition, the current CC Tool is a non-starter -- and even a child could understand the reasons why. I fully-expect to be told tomorrow that it still doesn't work properly with Avid's own Artist Color. </epic_fail>
Unfortunately, I stupidly upgraded to Symphony when I read the post of a certain Avid Product Manager who clearly indicated the Symphony product would indeed be differentiated:

In retrospect, my money would have been better saved and spent on Filmlight's Baselight plugin. Like my purchase of Avid's grossly misrepresented Artist Color -- I guess it is once again 'my bad'.
