And I was just about to spurge for Neodynium too, was just waiting for the paycheck to come trough, thank God I didn't. What a way to scrap a perfectly good set of plug ins...

Thanks for the heads up.

Scrap it as far as I'm concerned

Seems they are not offering the free Inspector anymore and even dropped Inspector XL from the line. I don't know who Rogers Nichols is, but I don't like him already.

Roger Nicholls is an engineer (best known for his Steely Dan stuff probably) who has also written/reviewed for "EQ" mag and others (including Sound On Sound recently).

Well.......I think he should've stuck to EQ mag.....and I never liked Steely Dan.

This is horrible!

Who's gonna make a plug to replace InspectorXL? Aleksey? Torben? Are you reading?

This is really disappointing - especially the price shocker. I guess that Roger Nichols logo magically makes the plugins twice as good.

I own pretty much every plugin EA has put out, just recently bought Finis. Feels like money down the drain atm.

Poor play is all I have to say! Even the demos require an ilok key now.

Very disappointing news

I just hope they don't force you to swallow the iLok thing comes next update.
