The price is a bit steep though.

I just emailed the developer. Have you been in touch with them? I didn't see any emails from you to our support team.

1) Frequent updates, yet no way to check for updates from within the program, let alone install them. Come on, Sparkle isn't new folks.
2) No universal binaries. There is absolutely no reason to have separate x86, x64, and PPC applications. If they were in the same app, we could even change the mode with a quick trip to "Get Info". Instead, we have to keep around multiple copies - which don't autoupdate.
3) $20 so I can run 64-bit tests? What if I just want to run a a test on my new machine to compare to my old one? Nope, $20 for something that metaphorically will be tossed to the back of the junk drawer afterwards - and probably be out of date by the time the next upgrade comes around.
4) No publishing of 64-bit test results on blog posts? All of the scores on the "official" system table and in any post the dev makes are 32-bit, with no disclaimer that any machine from the last few years is being gimped. For the Core i5 and i7, that's shaving a good 20% off of test scores.
Given how many years these things have been unaddressed, I have little hope of seeing any changes. And with support like that, I'm MUCH less inclined to purchase it.

Primate Labs uses 32-bit results for blog posts and comparison charts since the vast majority of software is still 32-bit software. Also, every user (not just registered users!) can run 32-bit benchmarks, making comparisons with the blog posts and charts easier.
