I didn’t even see this thread until now, but I’m the wrong person to ask because MORE IS MORE!
Really, my perspective is skewed differently than most my age; no wife/kids allows for a lot of purchases I wasn’t able to make when I was married and I take full advantage of that. I don’t flip gear and am pretty much adverse to ‘if I’m not using it I sell it’ because I never want to not-have something when I want it, especially if I’ve already owned it. Learned my lesson with that.
So if one thinks they’ll get some good use out of it in the future, do it up.
I never understood the “I’m just playing at home, I don’t need all that’s in a Fractal unit”, I don’t believe one has to be selling out MSG, or even playing live, to want access to a ton of different amps/effects, I know I don’t just stick with one tone just because I’m not playing live. “Well, I would use a different delay, but I’m only playing at home…” doesn’t compute to me.
There’s stuff I do now with these units I didn’t think I’d be doing before I owned one and I certainly feel one can grow into these feature-packed units. There were tones I never cared about getting until I got guitars that really work for those tones, setups I didn’t even consider previously that I love now, like a clean and dirty amp blended together, or how I’ve been using dual-amp setups to record with, putting one amp on each side, then the crazier presets that I‘ve put together just seeing what the units can do that worked their way into songs.
