This is where I get €359 (not €356) including VAT (http://www.bestservice.de/omnisphere.html)



 
Ahhhh..I see.  I found the price for Omnisphere 2, but your link is for Omni 1 (which comes with a free upgrade).  Got it.

Here's the email I received from Best Service this morning:

While I appreciate the coupon I'm really depressed about the whole thing.

True, but the voucher's a nice gesture ...
Still, they should have fulfilled the order.

Once I looked past it's greatness (I don't own it) and started looking at it's price tag I'm telling myself to stay away. I've got so many synths and libraries that I don't need to add to my drive space with another rompler (I will end up using it that way). 
 With the best service deal being wiped out that is some serious change for me to lay down on software.  I could get a great Intel processor or a great audio interface, SSDs.  
 A new user can look at this as a buy one get one free but it's still a lot of money. Outside of presets I don't really know how to create new sounds out of the synths I own.  MacProVideo had a $15 a month offer. So hopefully it will help me to avoid buying the latest and greatest and learn to use what I have.  If you have Komplete, there is so much there and I think mastering Reaktor would take you far.  It's interesting what people are doing with Image Line's Harmor.  Free upgrade always seems to make us never think twice.

Wow, Kite, you read my mind. It's a lot of money that almost buys you Komplete 10 or the upgrade from 10 to Ultimate. And it's never at a deep sale price, whereas you can get that upgrade to Ultimate for $250 if you're patient. So, for me also, $400 is just too much for a rompler with expanded capabilities. Glad I passed on it.
