The free version is pretty useless, I wouldn't waste time on it. But the full synth is quite excellent, comparable to stuff out there selling for 200 bucks or more.
For someone who isn't really a synth guy and only wants to add one do-anything synthesizer to their kit, this would be a good choice. If you don't like to program (and frankly it's not the easiest synth to program), the add-on patch libraries are top-notch and cheap.
