worth it for the Wavestation
The Poly6, Monopoly and MS20 are above average virtual analog synths with the features of the hardware they emulate and a taste of the old Korg filters (the MP and P6 are closer than the MS20), but this pack is worth it to get the 2 Korg digital classics which really bring the post-DX7 goodness. The wavestation is whatsup being one of the few vector synthesizers in the VST format that sounds really musical (and really easy to program compared with a hardware wavestation thanks to the multi-screen GUI).
