Maybe in the Pro market but for hobbyists/home studios who don't make any money off their work it's not that large. They did dip down with a generous cross grade offer.
With all of the softsynths and available presets I find it hard to give up that kind of drive space. There are plenty of great Kontakt libraries that are small. I think we are in the age of using large GB for marketing is over.
I guess with jam points for me it would be $99. Basically I'd be getting Modo Bass and eating up drive space with Syntronik. This is a killer deal but not for me.
I have to use a USB port to run it on a machine. I do that with Reason but I just log in on the other machines. Reaper is starting to chip away at the Cubase crowd. I don't like the GUI either. It has that budget DAW look except budget DAWs don't look like that. A .5 update is the same price as a Reaper license. Not a fan of single machine licenses.
This is where I like Reaper. It was designed for 3rd party plugins. I guess all of the DAW developers figured out after buying a DAW they need throw in stuff for making music out of the box since a user may not have any money left to buy 3rd party plugins. Tascam figured that out with Gigastudio 3. I remember buying Gigastudio 2 and looking at the prices of libraries threw me off.
