AAS Synths on Sale - Anyone using Tassman?

AAS has offered me a hot deal on their soft synths like Chromophone, Tassman, Ultra Analog etc..  $89 each.  All because I bought a cheapo copy of their Ultra Analog Session player for around $30.
 
I already own NI Reaktor.  Would Tassman be redundant?  The $89 price is hard to pass up.

    SONAR 1 XL had an option to pick up Tassman (DXI). I upgraded Tassman a couple of times, but eventually let it sit on the shelf for quite a while. I picked up the Himalaya Electric Toolbox recently (it's been around for a long while, although for whatever reason I never noticed it) at a 50% discount. I purchased some of Himalaya's other sound banks for String Studio - and was impressed enough to give it a go and blow the dust off of Tassman. Am I ever glad I did. What has always impressed me about Tassman is the way you can get "organic" sounding instruments - strange and other-worldly, or real and exotic - drums, strings, plates, resonators - as well as some of the greatest synths I have ever heard. At the $89 price point, T4 is the closest thing to a real "no-brainer" I can imagine. Personally, I would highly recommend also picking up the Himalaya Electronic Toolkit at half off. But in any case, playing with that sound set has got me to go back through and look at T4 and all of the included sounds,and to download some things I didn't have - and I am shocked that I haven't given it more attention. The comparison to Reaktor is often made - but it really is almost completely apples and oranges - There is nothing else like Tassman.

    If you hurry, you can use Cakewalk's BUNDLEUP code for 20% of Cakewalks sale price on Tassman (in the Cakewalk store).  That means you could get Tassman for approx. $79.  That offer ends today though.


    I'm personally impressed with Chromaphone, and I'm thinking about it. I already own Ultra Analog (love it!), String studio (meh...), Strum Electric (love it!), and Strum Acoustic Session (it's ok).  I like their stuff in general though.

    Downloaded the demo and tested it out.  (Thanks Glyn).  Lots of stuff going on there.  I'm thinking learning curve?  I may have achieved plug in saturation.  Saw another post for a hot deal on CamelPhat and a hot deal on Nomad and and and and.
     
    Starting to feel like the dog in the Devo song "Freedom of Choice".  Too many choices to handle.
     
    Dang, I may have to go with Door number 2 Bob.
