I don't know Bit - I think Euphoria hangs with bigger dogs... and of course they are all wildly different, so comparisons are a bit tricky...
HybridTwo Project Alpha and Project Beta are $200 each.
Impact Soundworks Juggernaut is $150
8Dio has half a dozen hybrid libraries ranging from $250 to $300
Heaviocity Evolve is $200 and Damage is $300
At $200 Euphoria looks like a bargain, but even at full price I think it is a viable candidate for those looking for a "hybrid" scoring tool.
Which brings us to the question "why buy a hybrid scoring tool?"
I can think of two compelling reasons:
First, if you are busy, and always facing down deadlines any of these libraries can speed up your process. I happen to enjoy building sounds, but I'd love to be busy enough that I couldn't always justify the time<G>!
Second, sometimes these developers have access to synthesizers, or even just sounds, that I don't. So any of these libraries will broaden my pallet.
Full disclosure - I have only purchased Evolve Mutations so far, but I find that I will use it, if only for spicing things up, much more often than I expected. So I will be adding to my collection, and the top three candidates (at least as of today<G>) are Project Alpha, Juggernaut, and yes, Euphoria.
Time will tell...
