Yes, the upgrade is indeed available (I just got off the phone with them).
But I am not at all pleased with the folks at Spectrum Holobyte.  I talked
to them when I first tried Falcon on my SE/30, and again about two months
later (which was about six months ago).  Both times I gave them my name and
address and was assured that they would notify me when the upgrade was ready.
Now I find it's been out for a month and they never bothered to tell me!  
A pox on your house, Spectrum Holobyte!
