So its not a matter of merely wanting Omnisphere only one in ten of us doesn't. After all, just auditioning Omnisphere is on a par with suddenly taking up a 30-space Eurorack modular. I still give Omnisphere the eye because its the undisputed Bugatti of synths, but I decided that between Alchemy, my bulging EXS library and decision to take up Chromaphone 2, I didn't want to diminish my musical progress with that major a commitment. If you can't build your ideal orchestra within that arena, take up gardening or the bagpipes, far from my house, please. For me, Operator and Sampler make Suite worth the price simply because of how powerful they are compared to how small their resource footprint is, not to mention how stable.

Omnisphere is definitely more comprehensive and should suffice for most of your cinematic sound needs, and doesn't require a lot of tweaking either as most of the presets are excellent out of the box. I would say look at/try out Komplete and Omnisphere, as those are about the same price and will give a better/more fair comparison than Suite will. Komplete has enough variety to cover virtually anything, with some creditable gravy of its own, but the largest gem is Kontakt's domination of the third-party world. Komplete has a lot of libraries you wouldn't normally use, or not as a first choice, but is more well-rounded and complete. You buy it because its Omnisphere and you're prepared to dig deeply into the Persing/Stocco world. Its the brainchild of several people who were already very musically astute sound designers and programmers. Omnisphere covers a lot of bases well, but its core value is its uniqueness. You're talking about two different worlds here, big ones. This really depends on your goals and how much time you plan to give them. How much overkill can you live with? He said, grinning.
