Does anyone have this new version? If so, do you find the new features worth
the upgrade cost?

Download the trial version and try it (for up to 30 days) for free.

For me, it definitely is worth upgrading; I'm just waiting for the
package to arrive from Apple, using the trial version to get up to speed
on the changes.

So far, so good. And all my current plugins seem to work just fine, but
being 32-bit, mean that I have to run Aperture 3 in 32-bit mode, which
is easy to change, and to later change back.

I thinking about it.

Does the v3 Trial overwrite the v2 application? Are the libraries, etc.
compatible or will it convert my existing library into a format that
Aperture 2 doesn't understand?

Not if you rename the existing version first. So I've got v2 to do
continuing work, and v3 to test until the package arrives next week.

That's why you change the name of the v2 application already installed.

When you install the v3 trial, it asks where you want it to put the
trial library.

If you don't do that, it will over write the existing application, and
convert your library.
