what is your view on when would be a good time to upgrade to 5.0? It sounds to me a little bit like the chicken and egg problem if you want to wait until everybody else has upgraded. Shouldn't the required functionality be the driver for a specific version? 5.0 and 5.0 SP1 have added a lot of functionality that cannot be covered by prior versions. As of 5.0 you can also use Application Independence and send 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 messages over a single session. The upgrade effort is much less than trying to map 4.2 messages to 5.0 but it gives you access to additional functionality, e.g. in the area of performance enhancements (reduced number of messages) and reference data (market segmentation and trading rules). This is something required in exchange environments. I do not know if you need to access such marketplaces.
Regards,
Hanno.
