I snagged the vocal production bundle a few years ago for around $350. That also let me pick three free plugins, and free updates for a year. Now I need a new plugin, so I bought one new plugin, and a second one while I was there, for $65. This gives me another free plugin, another another year of updates, which includes plugins that were newly added to the bundle.
I now have all the plugins I will ever need! The subscription would drown me in plugins, and cost more!
