Which one should I buy?

I have roughly 300$ that I'm looking to drop on new sounds... I just recently picked up Omnisphere and LOVE it. I also have Komplete 8 and I run mainly in Logic Pro 9 or Pro Tools 10.

I'm either gna cop Nexus2 for 300.. OR Sylenth1 and Gladiator 2 together for about 300. Really I'm just looking for a more inspiring and large VARIETY of cutting edge sounds similar to Omnisphere. I'm leaning towards Nexus2 because I'm told that its the most similar to Omnisphere (which I love).

What would you do if you were me??

Wait you have komplete 8 omnisphere and logic and you're worried about new sounds? The f*ck for? Omnisphere's library is huge as is the library for Reaktor alone. Those alone could keep you busy for a long time. What more do you need?

nexus is not like omnisphere . nexus gives you trance dance sounds drowning in reverb and sound the same with almost no editing abilities

Gladiator comes with a learning curve to get the best out of it. The patches suck, all drowned in fizzy ghastly reveb and ping pong delays, very trancey. Unusuable garbage. Unless you drop more money on the extra patches they put out.

That said once you learn it well, it opens up better than any synth that I own. Very flexible, can get you most sounds.

Filter implementation ie. it's placement in the signal flow is not the best, so they have these drop down static filters that you can add to the waveform and morph the response during a cycle... it's ok, working that way, can be a limitation, but that limitation, to me, is what gives it is signature sound and drives your workflow.

I would not choose it over Omni/Sylenth anyday ever. Can't $300 get you a Diva? I'd go that direction!

Have you look into getting a motif rack? save a little more and pick one of em up for 600 loads fast and sounds are excellent.

Sylenth and gladiator. You have more control with those than with nexus which is all about buying a new sample library for 60-90 bucks. Screw that. Sylenth and gladiator will serve you just fine for a 1/4 of the cost of the full nexus.
