Perhaps some decisions by elimination:
Studio 64 has been optimised for 64 bit windows and no file size limit:
Do you do a lot of editing for business? Do you use high resolution camera, eg, medium format Hasselblad? I am not sure where is the cut off point for image size. So far, I never had any problem with images from my 12M pixels camera. However, it won't be able to handle images from my 39M pixels.
If answers are both no, then you won't need 64bits.
Next is to decide on Standard against Studio:
Do you take RAW? Do you use Photoshop in your workflow?
If it is "no" for both of the above, then you probably don't need a Studio version.
However, if you intend to use RAW, then it may be worth while for you to consider Studio.
Other goodies offered by Studio are probably not required immediately.
So the decision is yours. However, Standard and Studio is only US$20. IMHO, just settle for Studio and perhaps it opens a new window for you to start taking RAW and use the plugin from photoshop, etc. You can always upgrade to 64 bits later.
Enjoy what the program can offer now and at the same time you also put smiles on many people! No point to wait for V11. You will get (or pay for the upgrade) it when it is released.
