PT7LE upgrade plus - 2 free plugins(can't decide)

[halipino]

I do not know about you guys, but I am having the hardest time deciding on which of the 2 free plug ins you get with the PT7LE upgrade plus...

I called digi and talked to a CS admin who gave me a 2 week trial on DINR and the Pultec bundle but I still do not know how good SMACK or Slightly Rude is or even if Synchronic is cool...
Does the Pultec bundle get great reviews, after testing the EQ's a few moments I found it interesting that the difference they make is very subtle on most settings...

There is no trial period on these and I am at a loss to make a good choice here...

Any suggestions????
Thanks in advance...

Get the Pulteq and Slightly Rude Plugs.
All the rest of the plugs are included if you ever get the Music Produciton Toolkit later on anyways. So if you get the Pulteq and SRC now, you`ll end up with ALL the plug-ins fro a total of 600$. And you`ll also get TLL Space (reverb), Beat Detective fullversion, 16 extra mono/stereo tracks, HYbrid, Xpand.

I was smiling all the way to my digidealer when I saw what plugins where offered in the MPToolkit. If you get the same upgrade PLUS plugs taht I got, you too, will be smiling come MPToolkit day..

Hi Snarf..!
Thank you for such a quick reply...
I just heard about the "Up to 48 mono or 48 stereo tracks at up to 96 kHz" upgrade from a friend yesterday... and yes, now I see the light....
You think "Smack" is a better choice than "Synchronic"???
I would like to at least be able to try "Synchronic".
