I started my reasonably healthy Arturia addiction with the (first?) Analog Lab that came with one of their smallest controllers, then got version 4 of the V Collection synths and never upgraded the latter. Each and every Analog Lab upgrade was free and brought an incredible amount of (adaptable) presets covering all V Collection synths, even the latest ones. So I didn’t feel the need to upgrade the synths themselves. I did get Pigments, though, as that’s a whole other ballgame.
