Why upgrade ATIH 2014 to 2015?

Thread needs solution

I currently have ATIH 2014 premium. I guess it works ok but Norton Ghost which i've used before that ATIH was a lot better

I'm currently asking myself why i should upgrade to ATIH 2015. I cannot find a good reason as all the new features do not matter for me

I make my backups to a NAS. I create full backups followed by 7 differential or incremental (depends on the system) backups after which another full is created.

I care nothing for cloud backup as Acronis does not offer a 8 TB plan. Although if they did the price would probably be unacceptable anyway

So i only really care for CPU usage during backups and the compression performance. Both of which Norton Ghost was a lot better in then ATIH 2014 so there is room for improvement. Everything i've read about ATIH 2015 talks about cloud backup or the new features but nothing about the improvements in existing functionality which leaves me to think that it is more or less the same as ATIH 2014

I've got three systems that are backup up:
2 * Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
1 * Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

Do any of you know a good reason for me to upgrade to ATIH 2015? Or should i wait until i upgrade my OS and the new OS is not supported anymore in ATIH 2014?

I also do my backups on a (Synology) NAS. I never used the fancy features of 2014 (NSB, Sync, Try&Decide, file and mail backups etc) so I don't miss any of them.
The thing I love about 2015 is the wireless support in the recovery medium. Works great!

Since you have Windows 7, you could also use the WinPE-based recovery CD of ATI 2014 to create a mustang-based recovery CD; that includes a file manager which at least lets you mount remote shares for restore, but doesn't support wireless.

I don't need wireless support as i've got network cables freely available at convenient locations in my house and otherwise it would be as simple as moving a backup to a USB drive and connecting that to the system in question

Although what i would like is support for raid cards. One of my machines is equiped with a Adaptec Raid 8805 card. Those recovery cd's might work here but i think ATIH 2014 can do that just as well as ATIH 2015
