iTunes Plus Upgrade Issues ...

I posted a simliler topic back in January, and have yet to get a resolution

I am posting this here to make sure that what I am being told is true. I am fairly new to the IPod and iTunes (Just shy of 2 Years). I have purchased hundreds of song from iTunes during that 2 year period. As iTunes Plus versions of songs I had previously purchased, in my library became available. A couple of facts:

o I only have one iTunes store account.
o Most of the 70 songs in question are currently available in iTunes.
o I have never lost of restored these files I only moved the Library to a lager hard drive.

Recently the request/offers to upgrade has come to a stop, so I sent an email to iTunes Store support. After exchanging several e-mails I asked the following question.

Is the only way I can get the upgraded iTunes Plus versions of the ~70 files in my iTunes library is re-purchase them for the iTunes store? Just a simple yes on no will do.

ITunes Supports Answer:

As it is a different file format than the ones previously downloaded, if you wish to have the iTunes Plus content you will need to purchase.

So in the interest of getting a second opinion, is the only way I can get the upgraded iTunes Plus versions of the ~70 files in my iTunes library is to re-purchase them for the iTunes store?

Repurchasing seem odd to me since ITunes offered upgrade to some files and not others? Please help me see the light.
