Why not save up for it? Nobody said you had to get it as soon as possible Tritons aren't going anywhere. And I have a Trinity I see no reason to have a Triton also. But my reasoning for questioning the 12 dvds is that the original Triton sound bank is a few megs. The Triton itself isn't even that real sounding and I have yet to hear a bank for any workstation that was really worth it in the end. So many software options can give you a close sound or better.
