I think there is definitely an advantage - Consider the following:
You get the same download, and the same unlock code, so there is no difference there.
The resellers will probably (although I have no basis in fact for this supposition) get their stock of CD's before Xara sends them to the end users, and Albert will probably ship from his stock to you, quicker than Xara will, as his list is nowhere near as long.
On a $25.40 CDN purchase (including everything - shipping and taxes) from Albert for the Xara Xtreme 5 upgrade from XX4 and XWD. From Xara you will pay (the same as I paid) $24.00 US plus $8.00 US shipping - $32.00 US (Approx $35.34 CDN at todays prices). Not a great saving in actual dollars ($9.94), but substantial as a percentage. Close to the same applies for XXP5 - $59 CDN from Albert or $54.00 US plus $8.00 US shipping and handling - $62.00 US ($68.48 CDN) - a saving of $9.48.
I don't see where you see a disadvantage here.
