Wait for sales on EZXs and MIDI packs. And remember, you can use EZX and the MIDI in SD3 as well, so there is no "losing" your sounds and MIDI if you decide to upgrade.

MIDI packs go on sale for $10 all the time. Stock up when they do.

And just a warning, after you start using EZ3 or SD3, you will want to buy everything else Toontrack makes

EZkeys and EZbass are both amazing to use and huge timesavers. Even if I don't use the sounds from EZkeys, I can drag the midi to a track and use with a Kontakt piano.
