I own ST4, I haven't even downloaded half the sound banks, I don't see the point, my DAW is already loaded with more than I need. If in the future I do speed up my workflow or need special sounds, then yeah I will dig.One way of dealing with this is keeping the sounds you think you'll use on an internal drive, and the others on an external drive that you don't keep connected.You mention the cost of SSDs, I agree, my point though was massive downloads cost not financially but in "mental costs" where having so many things can be overwhelming, can lead to scrolling through more than using.
But I get your point, and agree that self-imposed restrictions can be an effective strategy to being more productive.
For now, the more I focus the more I am productive, working on my songs over and over until I reach that elusive sense of satisfaction !
