Well nothing stops you from having a second installation of UO, I myself have 3 installed (added a new one today). Plus saving macros while doing this is as easy as going into your UO folder and copying the desktop folder, since thats where your desktop layout, settings and macros are saved.
As for not seeing the prizes, not all of them are client 6+ items but I think half of them are. There are some you will see no problem.
I doubt there will be any problem if you page and ask for a wreath or something in place of one of the other items or you could simply have a friend trade them with someone else for you, since some of the items are part of a set and people may want to try and get them all.
With that said, I was taking into account the players who actually care for decoration items. Nobody is forcing anybody to update clients but in all fairness, for over a year now if you logged in with an older client you got a message that suggested you update.
While keeping some aspects the same are important, adding new items or mobs doesn't really ruin any feel to the game. We just want to expand the experience of players who are looking for just that.
You have options here so really you don't have much room to complain, especially when this is being done for players and was requested by a player.
Add a second UO installation with an updated client.
Keep your current client because of your choice in 3rd party program and deal with that choice.
Simply update your current client.
Update and replace the new client with an old one (results may vary)
It all comes down to why you are here, keep that in mind.
I personally don't like being limited so I support anything new to the world that enriches it.
Sphere was great but just like it had too many bugs, it was also lacking in material. We are passed the sphere bugs, now its time to fill in the other blank.
