The Rewards program ends this year? Or you just asking?
Always depends. If you are into vocals, get the vocoder. If you are into real world physical modelling sounds with a touch of something else, get Objekt.
Chord Sequencer is okayish...I whish it would help me more to create my own chords and tell what other chords could fit nicely.

that's good to hear, but rather than getting personal may just a vote on a device might have been a better approach?
Watch the live stream with Ryan and Mattias. That audio input on the back!
Check this one out, Beardyman is great.
Yeah. Nice one... There are some less steel drum like sounds there... I like! Thank you!
Couldn't stay with the long video... Sorry... If they cannot get me interested in the beginning, no way I'm going to spend that much time on it...
I have BLG and would / did choose it over CS but I didn't try CS as I already have Scaler2 & Capitan Chords. BLG is quite a nice tool and isn't limited to bass lines, the only thing I don't like is that the bass sound patches are all housed in CMBv2 patches which as a R11 hold out I can't access - but I would still say it's worth getting.

I put BLG way higher on the list than CS. Although they work really well together (the "root out" CV from CS to BLG is great). I use BLG all the time, in many different ways; it's capable of much more than just coming up with baselines. I think it's pretty amazing.
What I often do is to clear off all the notes and start with a clean canvas (after getting a decent seed, random pattern and variations I like). Then I just treat it like a regular sequencer and click on the places where I would like to audition different notes. You can adjust each notes' pitch, you can tie the notes together for longer notes, or legato/portamento effects.
Of course, once you make the adjustments to the rhythm (when notes are played) and the pitch, you basically disable the rhythm and pitch variation amounts (and A/B banks, and basically all the knobs), so it's a good idea to get it dialed-in close to what you like before you start messing with the manual rhythm/pitch changes. As I said, this works great for more than just basslines; you can use it for melodies and harmonies and even percussion hits. You could even use it to drive a chord player and build chord progressions with it (place it above the chord player).
The reason I like BLG as a sequencer is because it gives me more inspiration to play with the offbeat notes that I usually overlook when programming a sequencer. This layout really lends itself to rhythm creativity, for me at least.

What would I get with my last Reward Points?
Absolutely nothing. I have 5 points left after getting Friktion last year.
I would have to spend 400 US dollars - $560 CDN with RS markup - just to get a 25 (CDN!) dollar off voucher.
I recently got another computer and am in the process of putting selected plugins on it - one of which is Amplitube from IKMultimedia, which I got in a Group Buy two years ago.
I had a handful of Jam Points in my account left at that time, but when I went to download some IK plugs last week, magically there were almost a hundred Points.
IK just throws "gift" points in your account every once in a while.
It's a good incentive to spend more money.
In contrast, I'm still at 5 Reward points with little incentive to spend anything.
If RS popped in a few "gift" points, I may reach the 25 dollar voucher, and then the odds are way better that I'd spend something more to take advantage of the voucher.
/rant
I'd give CS a 3 out of 10, BLG 6 and Objekt would have been a 5 until I saw the Beardyman vid , as I agree with eusti on the plink plunky nature of Objekt from what I heard online. That sounded pretty good, so a couple more points for that.

@stratatonic: I agree that the rewards system is deeply flawed in the way it is setup and thought out... Really no point in considering it at all other than to use the points that have accumulated.
But thank you so much for your assessment in regard to the REs on offer. Appreciated!
