Alchemy is on my wish list as we speak, I liked the demo. At the time I was eyeballing Omnisphere, Alchemy had just come out, and they were at a similar price point, but Omnisphere seemed more established. In retrospect I would have probably gotten more use out of Alchemy.
Although part of it is that I'm not using Omnisphere to it's fullest. Even beyond the sample library, it's a pretty full featured synth. The sample library makes it tempting to go to them first, but depending on what kind of sounds you like the synth aspects might be its underrated feature. When I say I'm not using it to its fullest, I saw a demo of the integration with Stylus RMX and that was pretty impressive.
As for Kore, I need to catch up on that one too but have never used it, I just got the impression it was sort of a "one stop shop" type of plugin (which is also how I view Omnisphere), and I tend not to be as big a fan of those as I am the instruments which feel like they represent a single hardware synth, instead of trying to be a studio in a single instance.
