I've got a few PSP plugs to sell, but I guess I'll wait for a bit

I did it last week and got myself MixPack. It is AWESOME.

I'm a bit sad that it's a bundle group buy. I wanted to get Nitro but I'm not bothered with the delays in the FX pack. I wish they'd sell each FX for 50% off as well as bundles.

I got the TotalPack - $499 for everything was just too good to ignore. I've been wanting MixSaturator from the MixPack for ages, and just didn't want to pay $149. But as a result of the time pressure of this Group Buy, i've done some ultra-serious testing of these plugins, and come around to wanting the lot.
MixSaturator is my favorite saturation effect - even compared with Voxengo stuff and Trash. Quadrafuzz gives it a run for it's money though.
MixPressor - turns out to be a very fast, punchy compressor for 1176 type stuff.
MixBass can add lows that aren't there in the first place - impressive if a little dangerous.
I wasn't sure I needed the delays either, but they have some character. Often I just need a single mono delay, that is only optionally synced to tempo, with a hint of modulation. The 2 X speed thing is actually a useful low-fi grainy effect that is great for a delay, so all things considered there aren't many delays that can do all of that, and the Lexicon GUI doesn't hurt the eyes either.
The Easyverb is a useful little reverb for short sounds - not so great for longer tails, but how often do you really need them anyway.
The Vintage Warmer and MasterComp might appear to have the same GUI, but they are very different and very good. Considering I nearly didn't buy this, i'm so pleased I did, because on some sources it is just magic.
Neon is a latency hog, but it's clearly the best eq I own (with the possible exception of the PLPar demo, which I can't afford).
I haven't had time to download and try all the other stuff, but these alone made the TotalPack worth it for me.
I'm not at all impressed with the way they are moving to iLock - this might be the end of road for me. The new products have flashier GUI's, but I actually find the older Mixpack era stuff is easier to use. (As far as setting values accurately).
I really appreciate plugins that allow you do enter values into a textbox, or at least allow you do set values very accurately somehow. Especially with eq's - it annoys me if I can't be very precise.
So i'm not going to say that this PSP is awesome or best ever. But I need good sounding plugins that get the job done, and it would be hard to get better without spending a lot more.
It's frustrating, that there are some plugin vendors with great sounds but crap GUI's, and some with great GUI's and crap sounds.
I think the SonicFlavours guys are the ones to watch. Their new EQ and Delay's are amazing - they GUI's are very easy to use, and you can enter values with no fuss. Before I decided to get the PSP Totalpack, I was looking very closely at all the other options. I still might need these as well, because the new PSP stuff is made for mastering, and not really useable for mixing due to the high CPU and massive latencies.
But good sound quality is what matters. I'm veiwing this PSP stuff as a serious alternative to external gear. I don't mind a bit of offline processing if the sound quality is worth it, and I think it is.

Glad to hear someone singing the praises of PSP which is not very common around here - excellent plugs! 
I got the Mixpack in a group buy a couple years ago, and Vintage Warmer free (with Sonar upgrade). These have been my secret weapons since then... had one veteran engineer ask me which Waves plugs I was using...hehehe. Same guy almost had a heart attack when I showed him my Marshall V69 (modded with Mullard tube) that he swore had to be an expensive German mic because it sounded so smooth.

I demoed the Mixpack when this LUG group buy was announced, but was not impressed... at all.
I should say that I don't like Vintage Warmer either, so probably this is just a personal taste issue.
