What are the main features you would upgrade to 2009? And if so, design or normal version? I'm doing mainly product viz, but also small animation stuff for advertising, for which I use all kind of stuff like particles, reactor, etc...
thanks,

We're on 2008 and I hate it. Feels slower and more unreliable than 9 and there are more weird inexplicable bugs in this version than ever before. Undo's just forgetting everything and not working until a restart, camera animation twitching at rendertime, loads of things that almost look as if they were put in on purpose because it worked fine before.
I want to go back to 8 or 9. 2009 might be ok if theyve fixed it, but i've not heard anyone saying that yet.

As far as design vs standard, there is only 1 difference so far, and it wouldn't affect you one way or the other I imagine. I do mostly arch vis, but I don't work on any projects that need LEED certification yet, so the feature doesn't affect me either.
My suggestion would be to at least wait for the 2010 release since you are comfortable working with Max 9, it can't be more than a few months away knowing autodesk. My cousin/workmate who is a programmer is a member of the autodesk developer network. He says that AutoCAD 2010 is going to be a major release, and from what he has gathered autodesk has some big plans for their entire 2010 rollout. I imagine that the distinction between design vs standard will become more evident once their plans for Max 2010 are announced.Ben Steinert

That wish may yet come true.
From a news post back in late July at Max Underground:
"Autodesk has hired Oleg Bayborodin once again to develop software for the base Max application (or in this case to better integrate software he had already developed for Max), which could hint at ongoing efforts in that direction."Ben Steinert
