Is it worth it to upgrade Reason 5 to 7 if not recording audio?

I can get it for 200..but don't wanna buy if it's not worth it. I pretty much only use Reason when rewiring it into FL for it's dope sounds. It's essentially a VST for me...so do I really need the upgrade?
 
Reason 7 has the external midi function where you can use hardware/software synths. Rack extensions is another option that is in Reason 7 that 5 wouldn't have but that's if you think it's necessary for you.
 
Well...I use FL for all of that..like I said I only rewire Reason into FL..if all it has new is MIDI function then I guess I don't need it.
 
Well I purchased the Waves Mercury bundle and I have all of Izotope's stuff...so naaahh...I'll stick with 5...let me ask a question tho ...ok I know you can route MIDI OUTs to the FL mixer channels but it's a little timely to do so...so my question is ....when I rewire Reason into FL will the FX I apply using Reason inside plugins require their own MIDI out channel or can I wire all of that stuff to go into one channel per instrument?
