You don't need anything else, but you could always add more if you're just itching to spend money. What are you looking for, or what do you feel you're lacking with your current synth selection? I'd recommend considering:

Rapture or Massive for subtractive synths
Blue or FM8 for FM/hybrid synthesis,
Atmosphere or Absynth for pads/atmosphere/texture

Or, consider a hardware synth such as a Virus, Nord Lead 1/2/2X/3, Waldorf Blofeld, Prophet 08, Moog Voyager, etc.

I love FM8 and hear nothing but good things about rapture.

Z3ta+ I used before I built my mac and I loved that thing, simply amazing sounds.

Buy a Nord or a Virus.

My latest discovery, Toxic Biohazard ... delicious, full FM + subtractive + 8 times Unison with detune and pan option, and its cheap too ooo, and it has great sounding filters and real nice eq : )

Arturia Jupiter 8v

i think it is good to have one product in each category:

analog emulation - korg legacy or arturia analog factory
FM - FM8
"super complex synth" - massive or z3ta
rompler - nexus or atmosphere
sampler - kontakt

These are my prefered synths that are instaled in my mac by category.

1 (Superb for trance):
ReFX Nexus full expanded
Novation V-station (This is easy for edit and I use it alot to make my own trance plucks)
ReFX Vanguard
Rob Papen Blue (Nice Basses)

2 (Good Ones too)
All other Rob Papen, Predator and Albino
All Arturia Synths!!
Native Instruments Massive and Pro-53

ps.: I don't like FM8, I prefer use Logic Sculpture.

I also use hardware synth JP-8000 and Juno-G

Hmmmm Similar to me, I'd say
analogue Emulation: arturia collection, Pro 53
FM: Fm8
Super Complex: Absynth
Supersynth: Massive, albino, Z3ta
Super complex monster: absynth
Backbone: Reaktor
Sampler: Kontakt

As to the original question, buy Native instruments Komplete, its fun I use it for everything.

Albino 3. Absolute powerhouse.

You could also wait a few days until Omnisphere comes out too.
