Before you go with TS2009, check the area of these forums for problem threads like the SP4 Bugs topic.
Right now I find the whole change to routes annoying. They greyed out options for saving/overwriting routes, now whenever you save a route, it gets saved with a new KUID# and the old one gets erased. Adding to this, a Session always gets saved but the old ones don't get erased resulting in a lot of orphaned sessions with no routes to go with them.
I used to like the option where I could save a route with no session when I was not ready to make one but that appears to be gone.
After reading some of those problem threads, you may well change your mind. I have not heard of TS2010 having these issues or any for that matter.
And with TS2010, you actually get Speedtrees and can use those made by others. With TS2009 SP4, you get shaders with no plugin so cannot use Speedtrees.
As for price, if you have or can get a voucher, TS2010 from Auran costs only $5 more than TS2009. I'll bet someone can get you a voucher, I used to get emails about people trying to send me vouchers, I have four sitting under my profile including 2 for TS2010.
