I reckon me and @inmazevo have got the measure of the marketing deparment in ArturiaLand! 
This “Intro offer” is clearly not going to be the best offer, it’s designed to get active and enthusiastics to part with their cash at the excitement of a new thing. I kinda like the Augmented Series as it happens. The more Arturia do that, the less I want to use NI, so there is a benefit in some ways to someone doing sampled instruments that way. But yeah. For now, it’s a no. If that price comes down significantly, it’s a maybe.
Otherwise, get saving for V Collection 11 which by this reading will be out in April 2025.
