This is the lowest price I've seen AT5 MAX. If you can swing another $30, you can get Total Studio 4 MAX for $130, which is also the lowest price I've seen for that bundle. Not to stretch your budget, but Total Studio 4 MAX would include pretty much all the software IK would have to offer. For guitar-focused products, TS4 MAX includes both AT5 MAX and Tonex MAX, and for that price it's already worth it even if you don't touch any of the other included products.
If you decide to get just AT5 MAX, I can guarantee you'll be at least curious about Tonex in the future, so you might want to think about pulling the trigger now and get the big bundle. You will not be able to get Tonex MAX for $30 if you bought it separately, let alone all the other software titles.
I don't work for IK, by the way. I just know that Total Studio has provided me with all the plug-ins I've needed for several years doing bedroom recording, so I'm a fan. Good luck with your decision.
