MFSDOTD...Nectar Elements $29...worth it??

Due to the new Nectar Upgrade release I'm sure, MF has Nectar Elements as their Stupid Deal of the Day.  Is it worth the $29?  What does it lack?

    Didn't care for Elements myself but Nectar 2 looks like it has more robust features.
    If the upgrade path is right from Elements you might consider it.

    Elements is / was vocal presets basically.  stripped down preset version of Nectar.
     
    It's nice but very basic.
     
    I think Nectar Elements is discontinued product now that Nectar 2 Standard edition and the Nectar 2 production suite are available.
     
    me personally I am just going to buy Nectar 2 production suite when I get some money.

     This looked interesting but if you can't really adjust anything I wouldn't be happy with only presets. Sonar X3 still has the vocal plug in it right? If so you probably already have at least a comparitive product if you own X3 or X2. 
     
      I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a sale on full Nectar closer to the holidays.

    the only way i an see what the upgrade cost from elements to Nectar 2 is to log in to my account, but I havent purchased element yet.. so who knows if its a good deal as just an upgrade path.

    well it looks like I am entitled to a juicy academic pricing on Nectar 2 professional so I think I am going to pull the old trigger...

    No, you don't need it. But I have a friend who collects clowns, and he doesn't need any of them, either. Doesn't stop him from continually accumulating more of them.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    They're called plugs bit. But.... I do admit to being a clown (in the worst sense of the word).

    Luckily they ran out before I had to make a (so called) decision.  But I would've passed anyway after seeing the tutorials and reviews on YouTube.

    BUT it adds "character" to your vocals Pal, and you know there are a dearth of those around these parts..

    I'm already a "character". So much so, in fact, that I've no need for digital or even analogue expansion.

    I am glad I didnt pull the trigger on the SDOTD
     
    I paid  way less than that for an Academic version of professional..
