To each his needs...

I am a big fan of VST's..
And think the same way as you..
Where it comes to upgrading them..

But, since i am mostly a player, and not so much a creator
I can't live witouth the easy access to styles..
The sit and play of an arranger is unparalleled..

But for new and exciting sounds, i am moving more and more to my mac and mainstage and VST's

If you are a creator however, the workflow of a good daw is unparalelled.
