Is it finally time to buy DW?

I've had SC since 2001.

I see that I can now get the SFI version of DW for $10 USD. This would seem to be a good price even if they do overlap in the area of sub ops.

I do have some questions:

(1) Will all the mods I see over at Sub Guru work for the SFI version and not just the Battlefront version?

(2) With DW v1.04 what's the main difference in the engine for sub play between SCX and DW?

(2a) Do counter measures still cause weapons to detonate?

(2b) Has the physics of diving/surfacing been improved?

(2c) Is autocrew-TMA still providing perfect solutions?

(2d) Is thermocline modeling different or more pronounced from SC?

(2e) Was some warning of subroc launches besides a transient on BB added?

(2f) Were sonar tracker bugs fixed?

(2g) Are there more than a few scenarios for playing the Kilo?

(3) Are there more than a few scenarios for playing the non-sub platforms?

(4) Was an improved replay facility provided for the game?

If I am mainly going to command a sub and already have SC is DW still worth getting? Have I overlooked anything in regards to differences between SC and DW sub play that I should have asked?

Thanks.
