As long as you don't have a newer camera, or have no issue with converting your RAW images to DNG for any new camera, most folks could get by with Lr v5.x.
As someone who has licenses to both Lr v6 and the CC Photography package ... I do like the Dehaze tool. I shoot a lot of sports. Many youth, high school and small college baseball/softball fields necessitate shooting through chainlink fencing and/or working in very challenging lighting conditions, the Dehaze tool really comes in handy for restoring a bit of punch. Yes, it can be mimicked using other methods, but it is so drop dead easy just to move a single slider in the Effects panel.
I also second the fact that while there are other methods to achieve pano and HDR merging ... doing so with a resulting DNG as a file format over TIFF is a huge plus.
For the mere $80 fee for an upgrade, these items as well as some other ancillary improvements are well worth the investment. IMHO.
