I just sent an email to Spectrasonics asking for a third tier/option in their pricing of the Omnisphere v.2.0 update.  There is one price for those who only own Omnisphere; there is a lower price for those who own all three, but not one for those who own two of the three products.  Do not know what if any reply I will get, but it does not hurt to ask.
 

Thanks, Paulo. Let's hope Spectrasonics offers the option of ordering hard media as an alternative. Of course, online retailers might opt out of taking orders for physical product, since that's not what they do. But other vendors such as Sweetwater might still offer a boxed product, if Spectrasonics makes it available.

I expect that you'll get a reply, they have always been very good in that way in my experience, just not the one you would have hoped for. I asked a while ago if they offered any incentive deals for Omni/Trilian owners to complete the trio and buy RMX but they said didn't anticipate that this was likely to happen, so I'd be surprised if they would accomodate a similar request on a new product.

Yeah, hope so. As I understand it, T&S as well as an online business are also the UK supplier/distributor of the physical goods we see in UK stores / retailers, so the fact that they have said this already would seem to indicate that there will be no media box for the upgrades available here. :(

Update:
 
Just had another email from T&S which contains FAQ re Omnisphere 2....
 
"We have also had a Q&A session with Spectrasonics where we have put across a whole range of questions; from delivery information, system requirements, to additional insights into the newest features in Omnisphere 2."
 
The two questions regarding delivery are somewhat contradictory in the nature of the responses........
 
Will Omnisphere 2 be a downloadable product?
Spectrasonics strongly believe that their instruments should remain as a physical package only.
Only the additional contents for the Omnisphere 2 Upgrades (14GB) will be available as a download.
 
Will the Omnisphere 2 Upgrade be available on physical media like DVDs?
Not at this time. The Spectrasonics download service is highly reliable though… even with slower connections.
 
 
 
 
 

sounds like they might slap a v2 sticker on existing Omiisphere boxes and the v2 content will be available as a download...
 
just guessing...

I did get a reply, but they said that they don't offer a middle tier and that I should buy RMX so that I could qualify for the VIP discount.  They are sticking to their guns, probably because they know that we will buy it at the asking (two tier) price.  Well, it did not hurt to ask.  But, not going to happen.

Omnisphere is my favorite VST. Not far after that in order of favorites is Stylus RMX.

Stylus RMX is pretty amazing actually. The quality of sounds and breadth of capability is very Spectrasonics. Highly recommend it!

So, lawajava, I assume you'll be getting the upgrade? 

Dang it lawajava,
 
I have Trilian and Omnisphere but never really looked at Stylus RMX. I spent about 30 minutes watching videos last night because of your post, and now I have to have it.
grrrr...
