Now, if HDR only doesn't become some kind of "fad of the day"...but with the advances in dynamic range sensors, etc on the camera side, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of extended dynamic range images (and a diff "feel") for some years to come.

Its worth the $ IMO ...
Also I personally feel people like the Fake look of HDR ... I personally like shooting a car for example in HDR, and creating the shot in Photomatrix, then dropping the org of the car on a new layer so the car doesnt have all the shadows. It creates a image that looks some what realistic and shows all the highlights in the background.
