Hi Fabio,

1.5.3 in still in preparation, but should be available soon. 1.6 will
take considerably longer to appear as the 1.6 release branch has not
been created yet.

Wasabi are probably the best people to ask about the Wasabi prices, but
I will say that they do a release of just the base system for a 
smaller cost.

best wishes, Chris
