The ATX blog post says Total Office users can 'upgrade' to Max, but Max is less expensive.

I'm surprised that ATX isn't pushing Total Office users to Advantage. Dropping users back to Max costs ATX money.

Total Office has 5 licenses included and Max only has 3 but 2 licenses at 99 is only 198. Yet Total Office costs $700 more than Max (full price).

I'm confused. I thought ATX was pushing us all toward Advantage.

I know that I certainly don't need 5 user licenses, but I thought that I Intelliconnect was not included with Max. I did just receive my third 2016 Taxbook and first state book when I renewed. The state book is useful. I just won't pay that much extra for Advantage.

Intelliconnect is included in Max. I looked at Total Office and Advantage and there's just not enough difference from Max... yet.

Dang! I should have downsized.

The package being discontinued is the 1040 Total Office, not Total Tax Office.

Was that a secret menu item? Because I've never seen Total Office on the website. Or is that just a nickname for the 1040 package?

I don't really know Abby Normal.  I just quoted a notification from ATX.  I never used a strictly 1040 package since my practice services individuals and entities, and also payroll, so I needed the full blown MAX package.
