Hi Russ,
I just did a quick Google on Qimage vss RIP.
Most stuff seems to go back years and therefore do not reflect more recent improvements to QU. There are very few who say there's a big advantage with a RIP, in fact may say in addition to the cost, there are disadvantages like limited profile availability and more difficult to layout and crop.
Perhaps someone with direct experience will respond but I suspect the extra money would be better spent on something else.

Hi, Yes did a search myself but found nothing much on the subject and what I did find was like 3 or more years ago.
Maybe should just take the latest update to QU like I have done every year thus far
