I have another day to decide if I should upgrade at the reduced price of €149.00 (normally €299.00)
Is it worth it?
I have read a few threads about people being disappointed that V-Vocal is no longer available and that Melodyne is a poor substitute. I enjoyed using VV and got quite adept with it, but if it's not supported any more, I suppose there's no point wasting time whining about it.
Anyone already had some experience with Melodyne and what it can do?
Thanks in advance

I believe this offer is just a step up, not the full package. It gives you polyphonic correction, but misses out some other aspects. For me I would like controller data in the mono convert to midi, such as pitch wheel being sent to replicate vibrato, but that's in the full package, what ever that's called.

I did the upgrade a while back and believe that it is an exceptional value.  I've done some pretty amazing things with it.
 
I previously used V-Vocal to make harmony parts and pitch correction.  These things seem to be much easier to do in Melodyne and much easier to make sound "believable". 
 
One thing to note, if you don't need the ability to manipulate polyphony, then you may not need to upgrade to Melodyne editor.  Pitch correction and harmony design can be done using Melodyne Essential.
 
Hope this helps,

I think the issue with Melodyne "disappointment" is that Melodyne Essential is not as full-function as V-Vocal. As a result I continued using V-Vocal when X3 first appeared. However, after upgrading to Melodyne Editor I haven't used V-Vocal. It sounds better, is more reliable, and does polyphonic pitch correction (I've actually used it on slide guitar - the slides were left alone, but where the notes "landed" was corrected).
 
There are two features Editor doesn't have that were part of V-Vocal. One is LFO-based vibrato, but that can be accomplished by using the Sonitus modulation plug-in for vibrato. The other is the "pencil" tool for drawing in pitch changes. However, Melodyne does have various pitch correction and note splitting tools that are more complex to use, but overall, to my ears give better results overall.

What Craig said.

+1 for Craig's post.  It has many tools, just as Sonar does, and lets you customize to the nth degree.

For an additional $400 , Get a singer that can sing, and if you need it for instruments , get a musician that can play. 
 Its a great tool no doubting that .. But way over priced !!!  Music has been made for decades without having a tool as such. You can do without it. Its called redo!

It's true not everyone will use it, like me. I've only opened a few times just to see what it was about. First time it crashed my system , and now with a new up to date system it tells me I need to increase my buffers to 10,000 or something stupid, so I've yet to try it. But then I rarely used V Vocal. If something was out of tune, it gets re done, or I'll steal the part from somewhere else in the track where it was correct. 
 
Note that if you have an older version of Sonar installed you will still have V Vocal. So you can use both still.

You can safely ignore that message.

Thing is, I'm the musician that I want to correct. I play 3 different wind instruments, and contary to popular belieif, just tuning them does not make them pitch perfect. Every wind instrument has it's intonation problem areas.
 
Being able to turn that into midi is fantastic for layering and harmonising part
