If you are just using it for your personal use, I think you will find the non-audiophile version works just fine, and in general, most folks won't be able to tell the difference unless doing a side-by-side comparison.

If you are looking to produce music for sale, you may want the audiophile (maybe sales can offset the cost of the tax); however, even then lots of folks do just fine with the regular version.

Definitely get either the UltraPlusPak or the EverythingPak, as well as any other add-ons being offered.

Unfortunately, you just missed the sale for BIAB2017, so all prices are back to full prices. There is a possibility of a mid-year sale when the new Mac version comes out, but no guarantees, in which case the next sale will probably be December 2017.
