Pulling The Trigger

Hey all, I'm getting ready to purchase Band in the Box. Without having any experience with the program, it's really hard to truly understand the differences in the packages. I have interest in composing different styles of music, but will lean towards acoustic stuff. I'm wondering; if I should buy 2018 or can I save a few bucks and buy 2016 or 2017, what package I should buy, and does what I buy to get started put any limitations on how I can upgrade? Any recommendation from all of the experienced users here would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!

I have 2016 and it is amazing more than you would ever need. I use it for background tracks and play every kind of music professionally. Making more money than I ever did playing with bands.

If you don't mind waiting PG usually has a sale on the newest version which will probably be 2019 somewhere around December.

I always get the ultra pak with all the realtracks I can get. Been a user since mid 90s. I always get the hard drive version.

If you buy used, it's hard to register plus newer realtracks won't work with older versions. Something to think about.
