If you want to use the VOCALOID Engine/Piapro V4x (VOCALOID) Engine for these vocals and that is a priority, I would suggest purchasing their VOCALOID package. If having the characters (voices) is the main priority, I would be patient and wait for the (non-VOCALOID) Piapro Studio update for Kagamine Rin/Len. Especially since Kagamine Rin/Len V4 English is not what it should have been quality-wise.

V4X/English bundle info: Depends on whether you want just the voices (digital download) or the voices with Piapro Studio V4X and Studio One3. The physical bundle and physical Japanese packages both come with Studio One 3 (a digital audio workstation), and Piapro Studio V4x, which means that buying the latest VOCALOID editor is uneccesary unless there are some functions of V5 you like. I assume buying only their voices costs as much as other VOCALOID packs with multiple voices.

As for buying their Japanese voices, I'd wait until you know Japanese and can speak it somewhat fluently. If you do not know Japanese that well I would suggest buying the English voices (if English is your primary language.) I ended up getting the Japanese and English voices. I don't know Japanese, so I barely use those voicebanks...

On ebay, no versions of the original Kagamine Rin/Len product (Act1) are being sold. As for the Act2 package and other V2 Crypton vocals, the prices are so high compared to the original retail prices I would not suggest purchasing those at all. Especially since V2 is not supported anymore.
