V6.04 to V8.2 Upgrade - Anyone have any experience?

["Fegredo, Alex" <AFegredo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are currently on V6.04 Mixed Mode and are relatively happy with it after
a number of years tweaking and bug fixing. 
We are evaluating V8.2 and after some examination we seem to find a lot of
pain for no gain.

e.g:-   CEA seems to have gone backwards!  It was never easy.
        Mixed Mode is now very difficult to read due to extended field
lengths for Item No's and Descriptions,
                Particularly within MRP300 AND MDM300/500. Columns don't
align with headers, every screen starts   'folded' with only a third of
information available at a single view as previous versions.
(As Master Production Scheduler I am a User rather than a Techie -
ergonomics are important to me).

Does anyone have experience of V6 to V8 Mixed Mode Upgrade?

I am alarmed by the lack of posts referring to V8. Is it that perfect or has
no-one done it yet?

Regards
