I love the echoplex or tape echo. I was demoing it today. It's got a nice compressed sound to it for guitars. You could get that pretty cheap.

I've decided to let my jam points expire. I'm not keen on the idea of buying stuff that I don't need or want for the sake of following a clever marketing model. Even if I use the points to buy credits, I'll be in this same position again in the future.
I am impressed with IK's marketing model. The sense of urgency has been a time honored marketing tool through the ages but combined with a considerable discount is pure genius. I considered upgrading T-Racks Deluxe to Grand but I have a few overlapping plugs that I wouldn't be getting credit for. If there was something there that I need or want I would be on board.
Thanks for all of the input and kudos to IK for staying here even though they are hit with significant abuse from some members of the forum.

As I said, mine haven't expired and I've had the 'warning' emails since jam points started.

Uh oh ... you've seen the JamPoints scheme for what it is -- a marketing gimmick.  What's next, expressing skepticism at advertising claims?  Oh, the horror. 
 
Seriously, good for you in resisting the urge to buy something just because it may seem like a good deal.  If you don't need it, there's no point in spending any money for it, as I try to keep reminding myself.   
 
Cheers,

Kudos to you for making the right choice for you, I hope the information I posted in this thread helped you come to the right decision for you (as I tried to be honest that upcoming TR gear wouldn't really help entice you at this point as it is on spec and not out yet).  Hopefully in the future you find something enticing enough, with or without JamPoints :)

IK, you and Obi are always helpful in my opinion. It's nice to have a conversation with you that doesn't immediately head south.
Good luck with ST3 and the new TR stuff.

Thanks!  I'm sad I reminded myself of the new TR stuff though, as that typically takes a lot of work and some time so I'm super impatient for some of that :)  I appreciate the kind words.
