I paid quite a bit more for my M3000... Personally, I think a good 
reverb is worth it, but that's also because I do classical work where 
even the best artificial reverb is suspect...

But when you consider the price, don't forget to factor in another big 
chunk to get the VSS3 algorithms... One "problem" of the powercore is 
that you're looking for a reverb, but you get a bunch of other stuff 
that you might not want or need.

I'd probably take either the big Firewire version or the new PCIe 
version. And I'd most definitely buy the VSS3.
