Well, my answer is, "it all depends on what you wish to do."

If your "target" is only to create recordings, then perhaps you could get by with only RealBand.

If you have other goals as well, Songwriting, Fast sketchout of Demos, Live Performances in which you don't want the "static" same everytime playback of accompaniment that a sequencer would provide, PRACTICING your instrument along with a backup band, many music educational tutors, trainers and features, The MIDI harmonizer engine, The ability to have a generator open on top of your main DAW window and Drag and Drop whole songs or newly generated pieces of same into a recording project, plus a lot more just plain FUN, then you would want to also add Band in a Box to your lineup.

And, whatever the goal, it is a mistake to sell MIDI short. There are times when the use of MIDI along with your audio tracks can put a project over the top.
