Music Producers of the BLF: Should I get Sylenth1 or Nexus2?

[Mr Unicode]

I'm looking to get a plugin thats good for stuff like EDM and uplifting trance/dance stuff. Nexus seems good since it has a whole load of presets, but the fact that it requires an elicenser while Nexus is really expensive is kind of a turnoff. But Sylenth doesnt seem like its good for upbeat dance. That and its sound library is limited to only synths as far as i can tell.

Can any music producers on here tell me which one is better?

I've used both and Nexus is by far the best sound library availible. Not only are there a gazillion sounds but you can basically isolate instruments from all the presents and make custom sounds out of it as well

Sylenth is just a synthesizer with a lot of options. You could do the same things with sytrus

Serum is the big meme right now in terms of good EDM VSTi's but if you're just going between Nexus and Sylenth I'd go with Nexus. Maybe a Nexus expansion too while you're at it
