L6 SDA Bronze or Feature Crossgrade?

I'm looking for some opinions. The dynamic pricing for my SDA Bronze is at $195 and some change. I could also go to the "Feature Crossgrade" that doesn't have all the SDA stuff. I can get that for $178 and some change.

Honestly, I'm trying to figure out which is best. Do I really care about the mission quarterly readings from 1910? Will I ever use them? or are they just going to clog up my hard drive. I already have the expanded Edition of the SDA Commentaries, so the life-works of EGW will come anyway. The logos data sets are complete in the feature crossbreed, but not in the SDA Bronze. 

Anyone have any ideas why I should go to the SDA Bronze? I'm open to being convinced. In fact it almost feels like I might be in apostasy if I DON'T buy the SDA package and be supportive.... Ha Ha! (just kidding)

Truly, any thoughts?

    The SDA Bronze will be missing some datasets. You can go to the Logos website and do a comparison to see if they are useful to you. However, with Dynamic pricing, you can contact sales and see what the cost is to purchase the features crossgrade after you purchase SDA Bronze. It could be very affordable (much less than $175) and you will get the best of both packages.

    If this is still outside your budget, then you need to decide if the datasets or additional resources are going to be more helpful to you. Personally, I like to keep my Logos features completely up to date.

    I bought the core crossgrade and tried it a couple of weeks and then called Logos to return it and purchased the Bronze. I'm glad I did. After that purchase of Bronze the core crossgrade was only $23 so I wound up with both for about the same as the core alone!

    Hi Rog, I recommend you call a Logos sales rep.   I saved quite a lot of money by calling instead of going with the website quoted price.

    I have used John Groce for my last couple of purchases.

    cool. Thanks. I wasn't looking so much for cost, as much as "are the SDA packages worth it?" I have plenty of resources in Logos to keep my sermon writing going for a long-long time.... not sure I need all the stuff in the SDA Packages.... 

    I did call Logos, and they said if I bought the SDA Bronze, I could buy the feature crossgrade for about $78 more dollars. So that saves me about $100 overall, but costs me about $60-80 more than I was hoping to spend....
