You should consider the UAD1 studio pack. Its a much smaller card than the powercore and the UAD plugs that come with the studio pack are a LOT better than the ones that come with the powercore. The only powercore ones that are decent are all the sony plugs (which cost about another ?700 in total) dynamic eq, master X5 and a couple of others, all of which you have to buy on top of the powercore unit. You do get classic verb with the powercore which is amazing and sounds great for trance productions and of course the virus is now available for powercore which is great.
The uad studio pack comes with 1172, fairchild, la2a, dreamverb, cambridge EQ all included as well as the other plugins. These are all awesome plugs and really make productions come alive.
I have 2 uads and 2 powercores in my DAW and an emu1212 main soundcard. If I had to choose though I would take the uad over the powercore.
