I guess that would depend what you're using them for. Maschine is great, especially considering the software that comes with it and its versatility; personally I use Novation's Ableton-oriented products and do most of my synthesis in the box. Arturia's emulations are incredible, too - their DX7, Juno and Prophet are almost indistinguishable from the real ones. (Indistinguishable, in fact, because they sometimes sound better!)
