I got the orbit 3 and the planet world box much cheaper than the ROMs alone.  Keep a look out on Craigslist.  Running the ROMs in external boxes does give you more poly, but harvesting them and putting 4 of them into one box allows for much greater sound design options.  If you are scuplting your own sounds definately put them in one box.  You can layer instruments from different ROMs on one sound patch.  If you are mainly using the canned sounds or find yourself often running into the poly wall, then running the ROM in an external box makes more sense.
