The base systems usually come with roughly the same set of plug ins, whether you buy MPowered, LE, or HD. You typically buy a base system, and then add on the features that you need through upgrade packs. For example, they have one upgrade pack targeted at people using Pro Tools for editing and sequencing along with video projects, another pack targeted at people using Pro Tools for MIDI composition with software instruments, etc. You also can buy individual plug ins and features, like upgrading ala cart. There are many options, so, like Slau says, contact Avid, or a dealer, tell them what you're trying to do, and let them suggest a set of options that will help you out. ordering a version with everything and the kitchen sink isn't practical unless you have mountains of money. Plus, it's just a waste. For me, I'm a composer and mixer. I wouldn't want to pay money for a bunch of expensive options to sync video, import/export video formats, connect to satellite video feeds, connect to slave PT systems, etc. Those features are expensive, and do me no good. If I want, I can add them later, though. As long as I have lots of instruments and effects, I'm well equipped.
