And "willing to pay the extra $600 a year on top of the Corona subscription?" - that's an important point to let us know when chiming in for Vantage :) Thanks!

Yes, if it reads 100% of all corona related maps and materials and works out of the box. And I might do it even if it ain't a 100%
Ink Visual:
Same here,
We're paying for Vantage already even though we need to go through the hassle of converting everything from Corona to Vray. We do plenty of animations and Vantage is really handy to present drafts/previz stuff to clients.
We're pretty dissapointed that is has been taken off Vray Premium Subscribtion though. On the other hand this allows us to only rent it during months we actually use it.
TomG:
Thanks to all so far for giving good, complete, honest feedback, this is all very useful! Also, do not take this as "that's the end of the feedback" - anyone else who wants to say yes they'd pay for Vantage, or no they wouldn't, I still would like to hear from you, this is proving to be a very useful discussion and it can continue for as long as someone has something to say. Thanks!

Speaking on my own behalf, absolutely. We acknowledge that it requires more coding time, potentially necessitating an expanded team. Hence, it seems logical to pay extra in this context.

Just chiming in here since your are talking about this. I've been thinking about making a more thought out post about my thoughts on V-Ray, Corona and Vantage.
I've been thinking about this basically since the merge. I've used v-ray since it was brand new, and when Corona got enough momentum many collegues wanted to switch. I was reluctant because I just felt I now had to great renderers on their own, but looking at them together, they we're both incomplete. What ever I did, I missed something from the other. I grow to prefer Corona for arch viz. But every now and then I get work that requires v-ray for certain reasons.
Paying for Corona + PhoenixFD and then having to buy V-ray + Phoenix (to get a floating license). I feel like I pay for Phoenix, cosmos and scans etc twice!
I want a Chaos Premium subscription that includes it all! Even Vantage. And this is probably very doable from Chaos side. But it leads to the problem of something that hsn't seem to be very doable or high on the agenda and that is cross compability. I don't want Corona UVWrandomizer and a V-ray UVWRandomizer, I want a Chaos UVWRandomizer that works everywhere. I understand that from a development point of view, this is much harder and slows things down. Not just because what ever map or function you invent, it has to work I many different places. And also the competition between the teams has been very good. First Corona UVW Randomizer was great, then the V-ray implementation was a little better, and now Corona has updated again to better. I see that it's difficult and has drawbacks. But from a customer and user perspective, I want my chaos stuff to just work with chaos stuff. And building a chaos ecosystem, I remember the CG Garage episode after the merge with Enscape, talking about how cross compability and unified ways of describing things was an important thing a head, but so far I feel I'm seeing very little of it?
I posted about this before, when I had troubles baking textures in Corona and had to switch to v-ray mid-project. If things were more compatible it would have been a non-issue. Just "get v-ray for that" and you can subscribe to it for just those months. And if that was the case you can even remove baking from Corona, and let it specialise on being the best cpu renderer for archviz.
And if this comes across as harsh or unpopular, just know that this comes from someone who cares a lot about these products and wants to keep using them.
