-Steinberg Absolute or at least Halion (when thy offer 50%)
In case you missed it, HALion 6 is 50% off right now, even the crossgrade (cheapest?) and upgrades.

Good to keep in mind though that since HALion 7 will be coming out some time in 2022, we would need to pay a significant update price. Also, there is no grace period announcement for that. I was a little tempted, but will probably wait as there is no urgency if at all in this case.
I think I'll be avoiding Steinberg. I think they're planning some kind of future weird copy protection.
Guess you are not using any plugins that currently have similar copy protection? I have a couple such plugins right now and I think it is not bad. Steinberg's copy protection won't behave any differently, so I am OK with that.

I personally think that this type of copy protection was selected by various companies because most of the people these days have continuous access to internet or at least it is easy enough to connect once in 30 days. Hobbyist commnity is increasing day by day.

What I would definitely avoid are plugins that require us to be continuously online, e.g. iLok Cloud (e.g. Slate's Fresh Air - which is the only such plugin I use because it is free, simple, and great.)

Not trying to convince or anything, just sharing some thoughts. Everyone's situation is different. :)

EDIT: And on point regarding Steinberg, I am interested in only Groove Agent 5 now. Dropped the thought of getting HALion 6; don't need it.

Final verdict:
Cherry Audio Quadra
Sugar Bytes Obscurium
Sugar Bytes Aparillo
Softube Overstayer
Softube British Class A
Softube Fix Doubler
Softube Fix Flanger
Softube Fix Phaser
Fabfilter Volcano 3

Cubasis 3 for iPad
aaaand: Volcano 3 for iPad for the insane amount of €2.. (completed the bundle of 3 plugins which I already owned 2 of)

I also got Dune 3, but it was before the Black Friday discount because I thought Synapse wouldn't do one.... silly me

edit: just added Tracktion Waveform because why not? Plus I had a couple of discount points plus BF deal...

Bazille is indeed awesome and the reason I bought almost everything U-he afterwards. Not for everyone though. Those days I notice I'm blocked I just play with it doing patches instead.

It was on a BF "discount" for € 359 (instead of € 389) at a dutch webshop.

Not strictly BF but I got IK's Total Studio 3.5.

I figured it's cheaper to go this way as opposed to buying single instruments.

Hammond is great, Fame reverb, too.

Modo bass not so much (I won't install modo drums, don't really need them).

SampleTron 2 is pretty great, too.

Wow.. some of you went really nuts with the spending 😂

What I actually bought across BF/CM/etc. . . .

Nothing.

edit: Nothing for me. And no software at all.
