Just curious, how many people own portfolio? just upgraded but wanted to know who has same package.
I have it.
I have it as well.
As do I! *smile* Psalm 29:11
[Y]
What resources provide so much value between Diamond and Portfolio? I am not seeing it. But some of you might have a better idea than I would.
I upgraded to Portfolio when Logos 4 came out. It made the most sense for me.
[Y][B]
I also have it.
I upgraded with Logos 5.
I got Portfolio when Logos 4 came out and got Portfolio 5. I love it.
I have Portfolio as well and having ready access to a wealth of resources is invaluable!
I upgraded to Portfolio with L5.
Upgraded from Logos 4 Platinum to Logos 5 Portfolio, which was followed by inexpensive Verbum Capstone upgrade.
Keep Smiling [:)]
I started with Portfolio in Logos 4 and then upgraded to Portfolio in Logos 5.
I had Portfolio in Logos 4 and upgraded to Portfolio in Logos 5.
Got it.
I started with L4 Platinum, Upgraded to L5 Diamond, and then had a good offer to upgrade to L5 Portfolio.
When I was weighing up my options of upgrading their were a couple of resources I wanted and when I only looked at those items and not the filler, the upgrades seemed logical for me.
I use Logos for sermon preparation and academic writing.
I upgraded to Portfolio with the introduction of Logos 5. For me, the cost of items on my wishlist, included in Portfolio, offset against the cost of Portfolio, more than justified the upgrade (HALOT, Exposition on Ephesians, Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition, Dictionary of Deities and Demons, etc.).
It is on my wishlist, so I own it by Faith. [;)]

I like that. There are a few other resources on my wish list that I guess I own by faith too. [:)]
When I bought Portfolio, I did so because I assumed that there must be a special place in Heaven for those who own it. I'm still searching hard for a good biblical prooftext to validate my assumption.
[:P]
Seriously, even if there is no divine favor for those who own Portfolio, I still love it!

Well you would have had that special place except for publicly revealing you own it. As Jesus said, you have had your reward. Oh, well. [*-)]

Good point. Per Matthew 6:2, I guess Jesus might call me a "hyportfoliocrite."

I got it for about $2000 with the academic discount.

Gregory I noticed that you posted twice. Are you using the Chrome browser? I ask because, chrome seems to be taking a while to show the new posts.
Please stop tempting me [:@] My budget doesn't allow me [:'(]
My internet connection disconnected for 5+ seconds then came back up. Must have double posted then.
Verbum Capstone! [:)] Not just for Catholics.

The reason you're not seeing it is because it is barely there. In my opinion, the lack of significant value between Diamond and Portfolio is a rank embarrassment to Logos, as I stated in this post--especially if someone already owned Portfolio in L4. In the end, I went for Portfolio because the stuff I considered garbage and fluff in P5 came essentially free as opposed to going with Diamond and then purchasing the few extra things I wanted from P5. In other words, the costs would have been the same. That is a rather pathetic "close call" for what is the flagship base package in the Logos stable. Frankly, I'm still not sure I made the right decision.
I find it rather sad that I have to carry this dreadful doubt about my purchase when I really ought to feel glorious elation at having acquired the best that Logos has to offer. I feel that I was essentially gypped, the main reason being that I already owned the best Logos offered in P4. The miserly increase in resources and uninspiring selection verses the increase in cost was essentially a coin toss laced with anxiety.
That said, someone who didn't already own P4 might see it differently.

If you really mean that you have no one but yourself to blame. You know full well you have 30 days to test drive your new purchase. Logos did not force you to buy P5. You did it.
LOLOL [:D] Yeah, 30 days is more than enough time to "test drive" 2,500 resources. [:P]
Matthew, my anxiety wouldn't have improved if I had bought Diamond instead, don't you get it? Going from P4 to P5 was not a clear and obvious call either way, whereas when P4 came out, I jumped on it without hesistation and KNEW I was getting a great deal.
That's my point.

Absolutely agree with you, David. That’s why I couldn’t go to P5. No regrets with Platinum5.
I do get your point and I even agree , somewhat. But rather than say Portfolio 5 was not worth it ('cause I believe it was) I would just say Portfolio 4 was a totally amazing deal. Had they not removed anything from P4 and just added to it all in P5 we would not be having this discussion.

Since I didn't upgrade to Portfolio until 5 can you tell me what I missed? Perhaps they will include these in future releases.

Somebody help jog my memory here. My mind is drawing a blank. It seems like it was some expensive resources by Baker but I can't remember. What I do recall is the publisher requested that their resources be withdrawn from the Portfolio package so it is not likely they will be included again. Whatever the titles were they are still available for purchase individually.

Yes but not at the discount of upgrading to Portfolio. [:(]
I think one thing removed was the Baker Exegetical Commentaries.

Yep, that was what I was trying to recall. I think there were other minor resources too.
I thought they removed Pillar too.
Of course, Moody resources won't be a part of future base packages either.
If it isn't included any longer, then yes, you are correct.
If I put out a cup, will anyone donate so I can get Portfolio? [C] [:D]

I think you are right. It's hard to tell because my P4/P5 library mixes everything together. I think there were some apologetics books that got dropped. Creation science & dinosaur stuff.
