I suppose if the upgrade was $49.95 I'd just shut up, kick off the 3-day download and not worry about EDM patches.
 
But it's not fifty bucks, it's $249, and that's my music software budget for 5 months. It means I'll get nothing else this year until I buy myself a birthday present next October. 

I paid the $199 vip price for the upgrade, did the DL and, install. Played with it for an hour and was not blown away like I might have been a few years ago. Currently, I would not miss the update as much as I do the $199. I still use Omni but not because of the V2 upgrade.
 
It did seem kinda sluggish but I have not bothered with the new update yet. I think I have just lost interest in Spectrasonics during their extended disappearance. I enjoyed the continued participation of Eric, on the Northern Sounds Forum, and seeing the Videos they would make as he had a special way of inspiring me to use his products.
 
I might gain interest in the future but currently it is not a priority as other software packages have me busy. I also feel like the VIP deal was not that big of a Deal as someone that only owned Omni could purchase the upgrade from JRR for a few dollars more than someone who has the entire Spectrasonics line.
 
I really believe it is an individual choice whether V2 brings something special to the table or not. I'm kinda wishing I would have put the upgrade off a while longer but too late for that... I really doubt that you're missing that much Bit but You have a way of putting things through the ringer and finding the Golden Ring. Wishing you the best in your decision.

Bitflipper - I don't have any examples or demos of my stuff online. guess I need to setup a soundcloud account sometime).
 
on youtube Sound on Gear did a decent demo of Aeon collection which a lot of is just playing the melodic patches.  gives you a good example of what is in the product out of the box.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WWXdEeSwi8
 
JRRShop Omni 2 upgrade is $203.81with the coupon FORUM code and they mail you the code which you then download, about 23GB download.
 
Omni 2 is not a cheap upgrade, and the download is big and slow if you have a slow internet connection.  but it really is worth it if you use Omni 1 a lot - Omni 2 is just so much more.

Plus seventeen bucks tax if you live in California.  Don't know about other locations.

Cheers MachineClaw for posting the YouTube link with melodic demos.
Sorry, bitflipper, only just started dabbling with Aeon (Melodic) but I love it and like you I'm not into the in-crowd stuff, that's why I only bought Melodic (and not Rhythmic).
Edit: Bit, just checked that SoundsAndGear link again: this should really allow you to decide whether Aeon is up your alley.
You might also want to listen to SOUNTH11 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6MsftWt3k8).

I downloaded the update a few days ago. At 18 gig it took under an hour to download. So far I've just been auditioning some of the new patches, but the new features, things like new wave forms for the osc, wavetable synthesis, granular synthesis, expanded modulation, some new sounds and fx, and the ability to import a wav file and do some "resynthesis" on it make it worthwhile. For people who haven't upgraded yet, note that you can import a wave file, you can't import samples. There isn't any key mapping or multiple velocity samples, etc.
