I am pretty new to programming my own patches and am having enough trouble with the likes of Ultra Analog, Twin 2 and Massive. What extra benefit would i get from buying this synth now?? It's not going to make life easier for me.

You've got some killer synths there already, and having Alchemy definitely isn't going to make life easier (or less expensive!) for you. Some of the pros of buying Alchemy is that you'll add a whole host of new synthesis types (granular, additive, and spectral), which you won't get from the subtractive synths that you mentioned above, so it will open up some new styles of synthesis and some incredible sample-mangling opportunities for you. It's an incredibly deep synth that is very well-supported and documented, but it can also be overwhelming to learn, particular if you're just getting your head around your existing subtractive synths. The factory library is not the best for EDM in my opinion (very atmospheric/cinematic, IDM-ish), but there are some very good expansions available for it that are, at an extra cost of course.
Bottom line is, if you think you might want to branch out and try more methods of synthesis in the future, it's a great time to buy an incredible and very unique synth, but if you're just not sure and/or money is an issue, I'd say learn your existing synths first, then move onto to something like Alchemy, or maybe even an FM synth, before Alchemy.

I actually have Komplete 5 so i allso have FM8 and Absynth. Besides that i own Zebra 2 and there are some good synths in logic too. So i guess i definately like the idea of alchemy as it is truly unique, but i just wonder how much use i will have for it.
