eXpanse, buy or not?

[reddust]

I don't own Serum but have used the demo a bit and seen/read quite a bit and I'd say at this point it's still the best of those monster wavetable synths. Damn expensive though. There is one big advantage of eXpanse of course in Reason and that's the back of the rack cv options. Anyway most typical users can pull similar sounds from both synths especially as you can freely import the waves. Serum has powerful waves table editing, if you're deep diving further into sound design

I just got Serum yesterday on splice, had no time test it as it was late and the download took some time, but I am willing to test it today when I get back home. I really liked what I've seen and listened so far about this synth. Expanse and Zero are still in my radar but I'll wait for that may madness sale and see how much money I can save if I still think I could need them
