Me three, although I'd also like a recap of the pros and cons of buying Resolve through the App store. I remember there are a few minor differences: for example if you purchase through the App store you have to change a few settings in the preferences in order to automatically add external storage volumes.
I think the biggest thing to consider when buying via the App Store is: will I always be using a Mac? Because if a few years down the road you decide to switch to Windows or Linux but still want the Studio version of Resolve, you'll have to buy it all over again if you purchased through the App store.
I like keeping my options open. We don't know where Apple is going in terms of its commitment to pro-level hardware. Much will be revealed when next year's new Mac Pro is released, which could either rekindle hope or dash it entirely.
Resolve 18 Studio, Mac Pro 3.0 GHz 8-core, 32 gigs RAM, dual AMD D700 GPU.
