quick intro & need suggestions on selecting right NX PACKAGE

[tbody321]

hello all,
Ive been a NX user for many many years and finally going to make the purchase / subscription for NX for my home based business. Im looking for suggestions / comments to help ensure I purchase the right packages for the work I plan to do... brief list bellow for what I plan to do.

3d modeling
2d drafting
I would like to scan objects and import to NX -
basic sheet metal design / bending operations, flat pattern etc...
export files to 3d printer

Ive been in contact with 3rd party NX reseller, but would like to do more research on my own before taking the step...
pricing isn't very intuitive and is confusing to exactly what you receive, what functions you can perform, and seems like to get something you want, you have to upgrade to a more expensive package which include things you don't really need..
any help, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
sincerely, tbody321

The reseller is probably your best option as they have access to matrix files that show whats in what bundles.
I have an older one from 2014

depending on what you want to do with the scanned data will affect what bundle, do you want to trim off excess or do stuff like NX11's convergent modeling? etc.

My ancient ADVDES bundles do everything on your list with the exception of sheet metal.
I can import and work with scanned data, but it's pretty limited. I can get done what i need to do, but its time consuming.
I don't deal with scans often enough to justify the added expense
