About Zebra, I probably never would have bought it from the demo. It's funny because I originally bought it simply because I liked the semi-modular approach, but then I felt kind of underwhelmed by the presets. So it sat practically unused for something like a year, then one day when I had some free time and was feeling experimental I decided to really learn it and wrap my head around the UI, and suddenly I was hooked. It's incredibly versatile, maybe so much so that the learning curve is a bit much at first. But well worth it. There are tons of free sounds out there, too.
Dune2 is no where near as versatile, but there's something about the workflow that's just brilliantly simple, and it's like you have to go out of your way to make it sound bad. I've never even thought about buying third party sounds for it because it's so easy to work with.
I think both are must-haves.
