You, or at least I, do not like to buy something at a full price for example and a couple of days there is an 30% lower price. Buyers do feel ripped off in those cases. Or the case here - new buyers will gett 3 instruments packs and have to spend much less money than user like myself who spent nuch more money due to several upgrades and not even receive the full package (in this case an additional instrument pack which allready is part of the V7).
But that's the way it goes I think.
I started out with Stage; upgraded to Standard; during a discount, and then to Pro during another sale period. I would have been better off to just buy the Pro version from the start during a sale period.
As for instrument packs, it's hard to say. Most people only own one acoustic piano. I started out with the Bluthner and still find it to be the one I like the most. I sort of regret buying the harpsichord because while it sounds fantastically realistic, I just don't enjoy playing it. I just bought two more grand pianos during this sale period, but now I find myself going back to my beloved Bluthner. By the way the C Bechstein sounds a lot like the actual 6" 4" Chickering Grand I own.
As an aside I have on order a Kawai ES 920. It remains to be seen if I willl continue to use the Pianoteq voices or I will be satisfied with the Kawai. I still think Pianoteq should cut a deal with a manufacture like Kawai to include the Pianoteq voices inside their stand alone instruments.
I bought the Kawai under the belief that the action will be superior to the action on a Casio Px-150. Time will tell on that too.
