Z3ta+2 - much better than the previous version?
As it seems that Z3ta+2 doesn't come with the X1 Expanded upgrade and I'm interested in the synth... is it worth the £35 upgrade price? In other words, does it offer a whole lot more than the previous version that came with X1? It seems to from the demos and reviews I've seen, but how useful has eveyone found the updated Z3ta?

It has some really nice quality sounds. I was lost in the arpeggios-
I think it is definitely worth getting the upgrade-

I bought it when it first came out and I don't regret it one bit. The arpeggiator alone is a toy worth having. The full sounds are a bonus.

For the price it is a good deal. A thousand more presets, and some tasty programming since the waveshaper can be synced to the lfos etc. Also the presets are organized by type - even the old Z3TA 1.5 presets.

In the space of a day, I've gone from z3ta 1.5 > 2.0 > 2.1!
Very pleased with how z3ta is sounding - as others have stated, it's well-worth the upgrade price.
