The full story is: I was planning to buy the Korg Legacy Digital Edition to replace the Wavestation A/D I sold, but then I saw this offer and it looked a lot better.

Actually, it is Reaktor, Elektrik Piano, Battery, and FM8 which attract me.

Reaktor simply because I love modulars, and it can do lots of stuff my G2 and dotcom can't (e.g., sample-based and granular stuff).

Elektrik Piano because I love EP's, but had to sell my Rhodes for space reasons.

Battery because I don't have a good drum sampler with a huge library.

FM8 because I sold my FS1R and don't have a dedicated FM synth (although I can do plenty of FM with the Nord G2 and Lead 3).

I do own Dimension Pro, which more or less fills the role of bread & butter sample-based synth, although I think Kontakt's library, Akoustik Piano, and B4 may be better. I also have plenty of VA softsynths (all G-Force VA's, VAZ Plus 2, z3ta+, and Pentagon), so I'm not really interested in Massive or Pro-53. Absynth sounds a bit more interesting, but I don't think there's anything it can do that I can't do with the rest of my gear.

What I'm afraid of, mostly, is that if I buy this, I will barely have time to play with so many synths.
