That doesn't affect me because I only use FL Studio and I have no reason to switch to another DAW. With All-Plugins, you get VST versions of many of the plugins. Added to the $154.20, that brings me back up to $333.20, almost as much as just going the All-Plugins upgrade path! At the same time, if Image-Line releases another beast of a synth like Harmor and charges $179 for it, I'll have to pay extra for that. If I take advantage of this year's end-of-year deal, if it's 40% off like it usually is (sometimes it's 50% off), I can finish up for $154.20.

But if I just buy the individual plugins I'm missing, even at regular price, that's only $257. In my situation, as of now, it would cost me $353 to upgrade to All-Plugins. The only thing is that without the All-Plugins bundle, if Image-Line comes out with a new synth that they only put in the All-Plugins bundle, and you've already gotten everything else with Signature and individual purchases, you'd end up having to spend a little more money to keep your FL Studio up to date. I think even with the great deals they offer, you do end up spending more in the long run, but it's less painful because you're not shelling out all $899 +VAT all at once. Buy less than you want up front and at least get to use the program and many of its features, then add stuff later to fill it out. The way I see it, building out FL Studio over time is like both putting it on layaway and getting it on phantom credit. And at least two premium plugins (Massive and Pigments). I don't like the experience of knowing something is in FL Studio that I can't use, even though I've also added a ton of free plugins, mostly from H.G. I plan to rectify that with this year's End-Of-Year deals to get those last three just because I like feeling whole and complete.

As of now, I'm only missing Sawer, PoiZone, and Transistor Bass. Over time, I've bought individual plugins through the Image-Line site, as well as an upgrade from Producer Edition to Signature Edition. I started with Producer Edition many years ago.
