upgrade to FM9? I need to filter attributes.

Hi all,

I'm currently using FM7.2 with the ABCM plugin and Framescript 4.1.  This way we have one source file and filter for different products (Framescript automates the filtering... less important).  I thought I saw somewhere that FM9 natively supports conditional text and filtering, but perhaps it is only conditional text.  In these forums I heard someone mention that they use FM8 with ABCM.

Is it worth it to upgrade to FM8 from 7.2?

Does FM9 support what I want to do or not?

Thanks!!
