Yes, it's worth it. You may have to get used to a few things being different from Vegas 4, but it is definitely worth it.

David, could you elaborate why it is worth it to upgrade. I have been using Vegas 4 for about 5 months now, I love it, but I have to convince my wife that I need to upgrade to Vegas 5. Why, in your opinion, should one upgrade?

3D track motion. Boris Graffiti. Greatly-improved masking/compositing capability. A lot of things you had to go to 3rd party programs for. These are just things I've used personally. Check out the white paper at the Sony site for a more comprehensive list of the upgraded features.

You get A LOT of very cool stuff considering the price of the upgrade.
