#1 Answer in the technology field: It depends.
1) If you already have Aurora HDR 2017, it's only $49. Same question applies.
2) If you post-process a lot of your photos in HDR, then probably yes.
3) If you like the idea of presets, Aurora is probably the champ.
4) If you don't like the idea of presets, maybe another program is more suitable.
My 2¢ worth. I'm not wanting to argue. If you disagree, you disagree.

No.
Not one HDR software is worth anything if you know what you are doing in PP with your regular software.

Photomatix Pro costs $99, so it's comparable. Links to comparisons below.

Disposable income and purchase are factors only you can make. Is Macallan Fine Oak 15 year worth a $100.00.......yes.

Only if one has a client paying more than the purchase price for a photograph with that "HDR look".

You are right, sometimes we are getting lazy relaying on presets and actions too much...

Being a one time purchase it is easy to use with excellent results. I find I use Mcpun Luminar and Aurora more than photoshop and Lightroom now. They can be stand alone or as a plugin for the CC.

If you use Luminar and you have HD 17, then yes.
If you have PS, then get PS plug ins.

Aurora is a stand alone AND a Photoshop plug-in, so get it. It’s fairly inexpensive, easy to use, saves a lot of pp time, and is awesome!

I've been using Photomatix trial version for awhile now. I decided to spring for the new (PC) version of Aurora because it does a lot more than just HDR. I have yet to decide on a major software for PP, yet. I'm still new at digital, and I'm taking that decision very slowly. So, I thought the idea of using Aurora may be sufficient until I make that decision because I think Photomatix isn't what I really want for HDR, and it doesn't have much capability beyond that. Don't make your decisions based on the bonuses, though. I've looked at them, and I am not that impressed! Decide based on the software capability & features. That's what you will have to live with.

I can use Luminar as a stand alone or a PS and LR CC plugin
