Coyote Forte is an excellent bargain for $40. Some commercial soft synths can cost hundreds or even thousands. And if you buy version 2013, BIAB now contains a starter kit for SampleTank, one of those 'hundreds' soft synths.

I'm just guessing, but some reasons that PG Music might not provide a full commercial grade soft synth that would increase the base price are:

1. someone may already own one or more
2. someone (like me) may already have a hardware synth
