Get it!
I got Massive and couldnt work it for shit. I couldnt even find the presets or turn on an oscilator!
But after watching a demo vid from Native Instruments it showed me enough of the basics to work it all out. Now i have a pretty decent knowledge on the synth.
It is a damn good synth and the sounds are very crisp, very professional.
As Halph-Price said though, think about the speed of your computer, it is quite a CPU muncher. Although, my PC isnt all that - Pentium 4, 3.4 GHz,1gig Ram, SoundBlaster X-Fi soundcard etc. But it can handle a few Massive Synths running at the same time - that is untill i start adding distortion and reverb, then its another story.
Anyways, Get it!

You can also create your synths in seperate project files and then render it, then you just reload the samples again in your sequencer and then add the effects. I havn't tried this because my pc can still deliver the CPU power but I've seen other people use it and it seems to work.
By the way I think you really have to be working with a loooot of synths before you run out of CPU power. My pc isn't that good at all and I tried how far I could push it and I had like 10synths with 5 effects on it...
