Even though I obviously have a bias I can't deny since I work for IK, this is my point/counterpoint for you
Point:
dang, the Dumble and Klon Tone Models can make TONEX MAX a no-brainer. They sound great, they're rare and sought-after (not to mention EXPENSIVE - I don't want to say what we paid for the Dumble and we do still own it) in hardware form. I also played the actual Dumble and it is an incredible amp. But it is also not the only thing in MAX that's enticing. There's lots of interesting gear, both expected and unexpected.
Counterpoint:
From day one there have been an incredible amount of users uploading Tone Models of their own gear and both the quality and the variety of gear does not disappoint. If you want to pick up TONEX SE, you'll get a nice base set to Tone Models from us at a great price and if you decide to capture gear you'll have that ability.
Counter-counterpoint:
TONEX MAX is most likely to have long-term benefits down the line as far as value and potential value-adds. If you have AmpliTube 5 MAX you can get $/€50 off TONEX MAX so there's the option to get AmpliTube 5 MAX, then go with TONEX MAX after for the discount there and you'll have more gear than you know what to do with (and you can open TONEX Tone Models inside AmpliTube 5). If you need an audio interface (which also facilitates capturing your gear without needing an extra re-amp box and is generally an amazing interface especially for guitarists) we have an insane deal on AXE I/O + AmpliTube 5 MAX + TONEX MAX.
Wow, I might not have helped as much as I thought I would have there! I hope this doesn't confuse or give you more anxiety about what to go with! That's the opposite of what I intended and I just want you to be aware of these options. I know it can be overwhelming.
Note also that the intro pricing was extended but will end after this month. That's something on the less exciting "bookkeeping" side of things to take into consideration with this decision. Musicians and numbers don't always mix but we also don't like spending more than we need to.
