Please, stay on topic and avoid mocking at other users. The difference between the two, as I am sure you know, is 64 bits ability to access more than approx 3,5 Gb of memory, given that you have more than 4 Gb in your machine that is. The advantage of 64 bit is so great that you should leave 32 bit altogether.
Broomstick is fairly easy to re-sample and you can do a pretty good job with a sequencer/arpeggiator to get the bass grooves that came with it. The only way to get to use older pluggs is to down grade, or use two computeres, one old and one new and link them, or re-sample the old instrument (but you can’t do that with FX pluggs). There is nothing in the market that has replaced Broomstick or any of the above mentioned. In addition to the mentioned Broomstick I can mention the following that I miss: Sometimes the plug is lost forever, more often a new version will appear. party developers must then issue a new version of their VST, AU … pluggs. Upgrade of computer, OS and DAW will “normally” yield compatibility problems. Thus no upgrade for Broomstick alongside continous development in other areas.
Broomstick is sadly discontinued many years ago.
