I also wanted to suggest my personal spending priorities for GURPS.

I prefer lots of aids that are more directly related to me playing and running actual games.

GURPS is amazing in the ability to refine the rules in detail, but those supplements detract me from getting to the playing which is already somewhat deferred due to the inherent nature of RPG's versus say card games.

I really appreciate the above post by Sean Punch describing how thorough the team is in getting the quality and content of the products right. That is important to me and is noticed. The GURPS basic set is actually fun to read, well-structured, and formatted.
