This sounds like what Omni tried back in 2013 but had to retract. The difference, I guess, is that Omni actually generated a full serial number for the old version (which was then eligible for upgrade pricing), whereas Smile is just giving you the upgrade pricing directly. Based on Apple’s stated reasoning before, I would expect for them to have a problem with this, too. But perhaps (hopefully) the unwritten rules have changed again.

Similar strategy for Movist Pro (http://cocoable.com). The MAS forced them to remove features, so they came up with a Pro version on their site that restores the feature. The Pro app can find your MAS version and activate the Pro features for free.
