UAD-2 card with have 100$ worth of voucher, what should i get?

[C-Martin]

I recently tried to sell my UAD-2 card but after using it a little more on a project i just finished, i realized that i could use the added DPS and that i like the different vibe i can get from the 1176LN compared to the CLA. I find it's like having multiple units of different era, i get to chose what flavor i want.

I have 100$ worth of voucher and there is currently a discount going on so i figured i would buy one of their plugins to try it out. I have no experience with the other UAD stuff so i am not sure what to get. I'm and trying to decide between one of their delay units (The EP-34) or the infamous DBX VU. Technically speaking, i could use the delay more than the compressor because my current CPU goes to shit when using the current delays that i have, I only have the default PT one and Waves MPX. I tend to used the waves more because i like how it sounds but it kill my CPU and if i can move that to the DSP with the EP-34 then i'll be capable of accomplishing much more with my CPU. I also thought about getting the new 1176's but since i have CLA and the UAD LN i don't know if i need THAT many 1176's lol The AE version does make it unique though with its 10ms attack feature.

What would you guys suggest i try? I plan on getting some of the more expensive ones when i get some cash but right now i just wanna take advantage of the offer and get one of the plugins for like 50$ to try out.

i use massive passive quite alot, also the pulteq eq and the Studer A800 emulation! those 3plugins are basically over my projects
then i have the copper time delay and the roland space echo too, but with those 2 i have difficult to use them in "normal" music, so most of the time i end up with softubes tube-delay for dirty delays

What makes the delays unusable on "normal" music? And what would you consider "normal" music to be? lol

massive passive, lexicon digital reverb, fatso, emt 140 are the best

i use those most for avantgarde, noise, industrial and ambient music, and they sound awesome!! but for my hard rock project, which i call "normal" music,lol, i cant get them to work, and of course its my fault, and how i work.
the plugins itself sounds great, no question about that, and you can demo them anyway before you buy them..

I havn't thought about that, i completely forgot that you can just activate the demos from the control panel without having to go trough any kind of registration and download. I will do that!

Anyone else have any suggested UAD plugins?
