...IMHO, seems to be a much greater gap between free and studio issues (and what's available and what's not) and trying to understand or trouble shoot that, than for say mac vs pc vs linux
Not really:

If people would care to read it. Maybe making the link a sticky would help draw attention to it. Actually more vague is what's available and what's not in Linux since the differences are not listed in that chart.

...Put Free in its own forum I say.
I could see that leading to alot of duplication of effort over issues that are common to both versions and needless cross-referencing between the two (sub) forums.
If irksome questions arise pertaining to lack of awareness or understanding of those 'premium' features that distinguish the Studio and Free versions, as they are described in the Comparison chart, maybe it would be better to have a New Users section - the inference being that 'experienced/advanced' users would not be asking such questions.
