In my point of view I see
1. Chord & Scale device
2. Dual ARP
3. Echo thing
4. Black Theme( I don't like that blue witch reminds me SO3)
5. Pitch Editor
6. Bounce note to audio
7. 1000 new sounds
for 129$. that's it.
like you said this is really not looks like a major upgrade. specially compare with Reaper Upgrades. but I'm pretending to see this as version 9.
personally I accept above 7 new worth for 129. also I agree with you..
One man's lemons....
I see that list of features and think we've struck it rich this time! For one, Melodyne - useless edition [Essential] will run you $99 -- the one you actually need to do anything non trivial, Melodyne Assistant, cost $199. So on that alone I'm feeling the love. (We could temper this excitement a bit until we find out if Props implementation is in line with Melodyne's).
Player devices - if you bought or thought of buying any of the "Theory" RE devices, just from a conceptual point of view, these Player devices are going to run circles around them. These are devices that you can actually play - removing the need for a lot of setup before getting to the goods.
Bounce to Track - seemingly not Track Freeze, but can get a poor man close enough I guess. Will have to see it in action before I declare it rubbish.

More sounds and colors are always good I suppose; definitely won't be "kicking them out of the bed."
TLDR
All in all, great stuff. Pitch editing alone more than covers the cost for me. Plus I'm coming from 7 and have already purchased the 2x upgrade. I'd have paid more, instead maybe I'll buy a RE or 2.
Next up:
* True Track Freeze
* Mixer channel grouping
* Sequence Track grouping
* Master Mode
* SDK update
