Is it worth waiting for it to go on sale? Get this or IK ARC3? I mean I am T-RackS user so the latter should possibly fit my workflow better, but does anybody use both and have an opinion? Thx

I have and use the Ref 4 headphone version, is it worth upgrading ?

I have the full Reference 4 suite with a calibrated AKG headphone. I checked the new SoundID and for me the improvements and new features are nice but a little useless for me. I think it doesn't worth the upgrade.

Also I bought Slate VSX last november and since then I barely used anything else, not even my monitors. VSX is a huge step up from Sonarworks, it is a totally different experience and extremely useful one. If you manage to find a VSX I really, really recommend to go for it.
