Looks like the only substantial performance upgrade, this time around, is expanded design rules and IPC-2581 output (although I've never used/needed IPC-2581 reports).
I was hoping for an embedded Gerber editor like Camtastic, and "Find Similar Objects" like Altium.
Added file importation from Circuit Maker and Eagle will be good for those users, and likely expand the user base, which will likely lead to further advances in performance and features.
Circuit Studio is still a bargain, particularly with the new pricing schedule.
