I don't think the new combinator is boring in anyway. Add 10 Malstr?m-synth's, some effects and you'll get a really nice sounding 'new' synth. Scream 4 destruction is one of the nicest features in Reason and i haven't still found any vsti that can do the same thing and sound like it.
Scream, NNXT and the malstr?m is my favourites in Reason
