I think I have seen it eligible for 15% off at musiciansfriends or one of those at some point or the other.

Okay, no worries. I will find a way if I can.liquidsound wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 6:46 pmSorry, I don’t have an account. I went to their store in Manhattan.
No shipping to you country, that sucks!
Thanks for checking. Yes, I have seen some posts regarding 15% at Musician's Friend. Hmmm, will see what's the best option for me when I am ready.

What country are you located in?LoveEnigma18 wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 6:36 pmThanks. If possible, could you please do me a favour and tell me the logged in price if you already have an account there? I don't want to create one, because it clearly says it cannot ship to my country.liquidsound wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 6:26 pm I think B&H is the lowest.

Lowest price I know of was $250.00 new, before additional discounts.
(And my spouse bought Trilian, Keyscape and Stylus in previous auctions and got fantastic deals.)

If you buy the physical version (USB) it is cheaper. 379 euros, at least in Spanish stores where I got it some months ago.

Thanks for the store/pricing info. A lot of these stores don't ship to my country, unfortunately.
@BBFG#: $250? Wow, I am surprised. Was it in a KVR auction? Additional discounts meaning? I searched and found one 2018 auction thread where it was sold for $410.

I think it all depends on the user. No doubt that $499 is a hefty price tag for it if it would just get used occasionally/rarely/never. But, it's a great value IMO if it gets used regularly.
If I sum up all the synths that I paid $50-200 for over the last few decades, but rarely use, they add up to WAY more than Omni's $499 price tag for a synth that I use in every.single.project. and often multiple instances. Not to mention how gracious Spectrasonics is with their free updates, which would be paid updates by most other synths' standards. If that makes me a fool, then I guess we have very different definitions of that term. (all that said, I bought Omni v1 the day it was released and paid less than that, and bought the v2 discounted upgrade when it was released, but I would easily pay $499 if I had to do it all again, and would also easily pass on many other less used synths).

I agree. Some discount if available is always welcome though.cryophonik wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:04 pmI think it all depends on the user. No doubt that $499 is a hefty price tag for it if it would just get used occasionally/rarely/never. But, it's a great value IMO if it gets used regularly.

I don't recall what I paid for v1 or for the v2 upgrade tbh, but they probably totaled at least $499, which I would consider a bargain given how much use I've gotten from it.

Okay. But did you pay full price for v1 and the upgrade as well?cryophonik wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:48 pmI don't recall what I paid for v1 or for the v2 upgrade tbh, but they probably totaled at least $499, which I would consider a bargain given how much use I've gotten from it.

I don't recall. I bought both of them the day they were available, and I think I had a loyalty discount for v1, since I already owned several Spectrasonics products that I did pay full price for, and also weren't cheap. Why do you care?BBFG# wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:59 pmOkay.

I worked a few music stores across the state in the 80s & 90s and we loved your kind of patronage.

Earlier scenario.
Omni Version 1 during a stock dump after they announced Version 2 and a grace upgrade for v1 bought in the same time frame. I also know others that paid 375-400 as well. All at B&M stores though. Seems no one wanted online tracking it lower than $429.

Thirty years ago I got a free flight to the US when buying a cheap vacuum cleaner, so did my mates. Free trips and clean houses all round.
Last time I went to the US, I had to pay for a flight, unfortunately.
