Hi,
I am looking at some variants of buying an instrument
I am hoping that some of you guys might be familiar with at least 2 of the 3 options listed below and would be able to tell me your comparison results. As far as sounds, which one do you think is the best option?
Option 1: Buy a Korg M3 (possibly even a Kronos)
Option 2: Buy cheaper keyboard (say Yamaha MM6) + a Spectrasonics Omnisphere Virtual Synth + a dedicated computer with enough capability to handle the software and patches without crashing all the time.
Option 3: Buy cheap keyboard + EastWest Composers Collection + dedicated computer with enough capability to handle the software and patches without crashing all the time.

The most important factor for me is the sounds - including realistic guitars, basses, fiddles, flutes.
Cash is a concern and if I can get sounds as good as the ones in Korg M3 (or better) with option 2 or 3 and come out spending less money in the end I would consider going that route.
I appreciate all thoughts from those who are familiar with these products.
