If you have had both is the Big Sky worth the extra $200? Thanks for any info.
 
The thing I can't get past with the smaller Strymon stuff is that they offer so, so many sounds and secondary functions but aside from storing a "Favorite" and getting another switch or using a switcher like the ES-8 you can't store presets and there's no midi. I love how my DIG sounds but might be looking to grab one of the big full featured delays soon because of this.

If you don't mind a lot of tweaking or you only use one or two sounds then the Blue is fantastic. It does sound really good.
The Bigsky is on another level with features and offers sounds that the Blue doesn't. I'd go big

I have not owned both, but I'm really lovin the Big Sky. Its hands down the best reverb I've ever heard, but it also does stuff I've never heard before. We are working on some stuff that has some ambient sections in it, and between the Big Sky and a Pigtronix Echolution Ultra Pro2, I'm getting some huge, expansive tones that morph into things I had not even thought of till I stumbled onto them. The Big Sky will work with anything else you want to use it on also. My drummer is a big analog synth guy, and we got some downright scary sounding stuff out of his modular synth setup into the big sky.
Really cool stuff for recording ;)
 
I first bought the Timeline and the Mobius. They are amazing and have so much to offer and so many different sounds/soundscapes. But when it came to a reverb pedal, I went for the Blue Sky because I didnt think I needed so much from a Reverb pedal and since I had the other big 2, I settled for the Blue Sky. And I definitely don't regret it. Blue Sky is no joke. It is a great pedal. No matter which you get the Shimmer is incredible and no matter which you get you won't be disappointed:)
