SH IV...any reason to buy?

Well I bought it tonight. It ran slower than I expected but it was playable. I thought the transparent water effect was awesome but in general the over all water seemed worse than SHIII! I only played with it a few minutes checking out random details. Over all I think it could have probably done better with the SHIII engine and better programing as this new engine is just to CPU intensive. And SHIII modded looks almost as good to me. I must admit though that I have only 10 minutes on the sim before I longed to throw back in SHIII. Maybe I just need to play around with it more and get a feel for it but so far I just see a 10% improvment at a loss of 75% of my frame rates!
