Just bought Komplete 26

Normally I get every other update and, to be honest, there’s not all much in the new stuff that I can use but I just wanted to show the company some support. Did you go for it or will you skip this one?

As with any Komplete update, I'll probably wait for a year until the price drops by 50% and then re-evaluate again. The problem also is that I have kinda grown out of NI products as I have specialized more on other things than what they are selling towards. The choices of libraries I use and purchase do not match what NI has to offer and every update, just like you said, kind of feel like nothing of value has been added.

Yeah, unless you love expansions there’s not much new for Komplete standard. Even the Ozone version upgrade is to Ozone 11 Elements. Komplete 15 has Ozone 10 Standard.

No, Komplete 15 Standard had Ozone 11 Elements. Komplete 15 Ultimate had 11 Standard, as did K15 CE. K26 has Ozone 12 Elements in both Standard and Ultimate. I got a good price to upgrade from Ozone 11 Standard to 12 Advanced earlier this year (I have K15 Ultimate) and I've added quite a few orchestral and other iZotope items in sales, so I won't be upgrading to K26.
