My suggestion is to buy a copy of Vegas 6 for $99 from B&H and use this to
upgrade to Vegas 7+DVD Architect for $235 (download version). Total price
is $334. Buying Vegas &+DVDA outright will set you back at least $500 or
more (unless you're a student) so there is a savings to be had.

Since Vegas 7 wasn't released until last September, I'm not expecting
anything at NAB.

Sony has already said "In the Spring of 2007, AVCHD will be supported in a
free update to Vegas 7 software."

When a new version is released, you can upgrade (almost) any version for a
very reasonable price for 60 or 90 days.
As I recall, upgrading to 6 to 7 was $250 (which was more than normal) but
that's because DVD Architect is now bundled with it.
