Music Creator download

The Cakewalk website has a download version of Music Creator 5 (here). It says it has less content than the CD version, but the link it provides doesn't actually say what is not included. Can anyone tell me (or point me in the direction of) what I'd be missing if I went for an instant download rather than wait for a package?
Regards, Steve.

    If it were me, I'd get the boxed version.
    Drive down to the nearest Best Buy or other electronics/computer store and you won't have to wait.
    I think I have the comparison link somewhere. I'll look for it...

    Go to your local stores and find the BOXed version.

    You will kick yourself for buying the DL...


    Once you get teh boxed version installed, go to teh cake site and DL the update for MC5... it has even more instruments in it.

    I've seen MC 5 at Staples, Best Buy, as well as Sam Ash & Guitar Center.

    OK, thanks very much both (and thanks Greg for the link).

    Not so simple as a local store - I live in the UK and can't find any equivalents to the stores that you mention. I'll have to wait till Amazon deliver on Tuesday which is why I was thinking of the instant gratification of a download, but I can see the package is worth waiting for!

    Yes... good choice. Tuesday will be here in short order.

    You should also be considering an external USB style audio/midi interface to allow MC5 to work to it's fullest potential.... if you don't already have one.

    Yes I agree get the boxed set.  At the very least there are more drum patterns included with the boxed set.  If you like me at all I need about a million drum snipets.  I just can seem to write them, I only know what I want when I hear it.
