There'll be a better offer along in the next few months, almost certainly before you've actually got around to reading any of the ones in this bundle!
Well, here's the math - now that I've taken the step to pull up the appropriate wishlist.

The two Big Sigma books I lack from the omnibus would total $7.98 on their own, and that series is already on my radar. Thus, buying in at $5 is a decent bargain if I like the first book, so Big Sigma 1 gets bumped up in the queue. If I like it and buy in here, I look at the other books on this tier as "we'll give you these books if you'll accept a $3 discount" - which, okay, fine by me.

The remaining Big Sigma book is $4.99, which in and of itself is not a convincing case for the bonus step-up. The two newsletter freebies have sequels in the bundle, though, and there are a couple of others that interest me enough for a second look; buying in at this level will definitely take some more persuading. If the only bonus book I want is Big Sigma 4, better to spend $5 for it whenever I want than $10 under countdown pressure.
