There is also the cost of upgrading controls too. I found a lot of the ones i used in D7 pretty much with the odd exception, installed fine in D2007. I have however got one control that I need to update the if I spent the time mucking around with the source code I would get to compile under D2007, but I decided today iw ill just change to a different control which will make upgrading to D2009 easier and more future proof.
