So any of you opted for the boxed version of Aperture instead of the instant gratification of getting it now via download? If so why?
 
I don't know why you wouldn't... You can get instant gratification either way. Download the trial and plug in the serial when the box gets there... I don't think it'll take longer than 30 days.
 
I bought the boxed version and it came in two days (standard shipping). I like the idea of getting a manual even though I can access the on-line tutorials. Unfortunately, I have not been happy with the application performance. I am getting the spinning beach ball and freezes all the time. I have plenty of ram and HDD space. I only have 3,300 pics in my Library. Major let down unless :apple: fixes soon.
 
I purchased the physical copy to get a $25 discount. That's the only reason I did it.
