Well, I'm not... I skipped FM08 and I will skip FM09 because honestly
FML is occupying a lot of my free time already.

Why not? The save I'm still playing on FM2006 is the save I started on
the very first day and I haven't had any problems. In fact, I've never
had any problems continuing saves over multiple patches.

You missed two excuses:-

4) I haven't even ordered it because the copy protection puts me off.
(Not everyone has a problem with it).

5) 3D match engine aside, I'm still not convinced it's really going to
be enough of an advance over what I already had. (I would have got it
anyway myself).
