I've also been contemplating the permanent. Each time I think "am I going to use this for another ___ years?" Right now I guess the blank is about 7-8 years since it costs $20/year here on auto-billing. If you factor in the $10 for a year of extra icons, it would be 5 years... but I currently am not using that much. However, where else would I go? I regret not buying or not knowing about them when they were $100 but I'm not feeling the burn from the last time they were $150.
