Change in plan: I ordered an Ultra this evening and I'm going to return the Standard.
Today I ran into a few scenarios where I either didn't have a feature available while building a patch, grabbed a few patches off of Axe-Excange that I wasn't able to utilize in whole but demo'ing pieces at a time I wanted to be able to evaluate their utility in full, and finally ran short on processing power while building a patch I would definitely make use of IF I were able to. Most of this didn't matter to me as I was just playing around with sounds I'd have no practical use for. Running out of processing power building something I would definitely use after a bit of refinement was what tipped the scales. I had the means to sport for the Ultra when I bought the Axe-FX. I just did not foresee the need for the Ultra. Oops!
I suppose I could have saved myself the cost of shipping back and forth on the Standard if I had purchased the Ultra 'just in case' but it just didn't seem worth an extra $500 for 'just in case' at the time. It does now! Since I've now seen fit to pay that additional $500 I'll definitely be playing around with the additional features in the Ultra to see if I can find uses for any of them. At the very least I'll be able to demo any patch shared on Axe-Exchange. Oh well - live and learn.

It took only 36 hours for me to realize that I should have purchased the Ultra. Thankfully Fractal has a 15 day return policy. Even though I use few effects if any I still managed to bump into the Standard's processing limit building a patch (not overly complex and delay/reverb only for effects). Suddenly that $500 difference in price between the Standard and the Ultra didn't seem so big.
I've since heard from quite a few Axe-FX users who chose the Standard first as it seemed to fit their intended use. All reported updating to an Ultra for reasons similar to my own. Likewise, There are plenty of players who are very happy with the Standard, who have no regrets choosing the Standard over the Ultra.
I don't regret buying the Standard. I now have a better understanding of its strengths and its limitations. For my part I'll want the extra processing power to experiment building new tones without running out of processing power.
I wanted to provide this as food for thougt while you're considering purchasing an Axe-FX. You can't really go wrong either way.
