Being my favorite GUI for engine matches I hope they implement things that make it go back into the interface wars.

My wish is that they implement delayed tourneys into the ERT, so I can save many tourney configurations and then I tell the ERT to run them all one by one.

Unlikely. Lokasoft staff wouldn't play this kind of ad games, chessbase people only do, besides Christophe said he is not into chess programming anymore.

I think Chesspartner is least preferred GUI amongst the testers and most preferred GUI amongst those who test engines at ICC.

Yes, I wonder why? It does what I tell it to do, I can't ask for more, besides extra features.

Hopefully I will get it for free for being the owner of ChessTiger, Smarthink, etc..

New? Not much, I guess. The engine by the owner of the site never was a really strong one, so from that side do not expect nothing. Perhaps it will bring some other engine? Maybe, but which one to make of P6 something interesting?
Last: the gui is ugly.
Conclusion: anything more expensive than 20 bucks will be too much a price for the product.
Hope I am wrong.
