For me, Need usually turns out to be rationalization and/or self-deception. I really need FabFilter's multiband compressor! Well, no, technically I don't, no matter what yorolpal says. But convincing myself of the need makes me feel less manipulated and more in control.
<Sigh> I've noticed that I tend to buy the most, when I'm doing the least musicwise.
Kind of like a traveling salesman buying his kids toys cause he can't be there...
Jeez, that comes off depressing

lol
Well at least I'll have new toys to play with when I do have the time.
