As a rank amateur, I feel I've got mastering tools that are well beyond my talents and needs coming out of my ears. (I'm almost embarrassed that I own the full-blown Platinum version, it's well beyond my simple needs, but a metaphorical alignment of the planets allowed me to grab the lifetime updates deal at the 11th hour).
Some form of more creative VST would please me. Due to my current impecunious circumstances, I rely on what comes with Sonar and some of the freebies out there. Other than getting Waves IM Pusher for £17 (I had a $30 off coupon) in December, my last VST purchase was in 2009!
But if the Bakers were to ask me what I'd really like, I'd say: take the best bits from Beatscape, DropZone, RXP and Cyclone, and make the instrument you should have made in the first place.
