My opinions,

1.) audiophile not needed

2.) BIAB is great for creating backing tracks to jam along with

3.) The realtrack charts can show you what is being playing by the pro guitarists and you could learn from that.

4.) I haven't really used the guitar riffs stuff (but I have it), so I can't talk to that.

5.) BIAB is great if you want to start writing songs.

6.) No one can really answer your question -- it all depends on how you apply yourself.

7.) They always seem to have big discounts on BIAB in mid-summer and Christmas time.

Good luck -- it is a great product and one that I always recommend.
