AD2 Upgrade - which pack to include?

I am going to take advantage of the 50% off sale to upgrade.  I just got the Fairfax 1/2 bundle from JRR and like both kits a lot.  I am interested in getting either the Black Velvet or Indie kits as part of the upgrade + 1 AD kit package and would like to know what people think of these two kits.

    I really like the Black Velvet kit. It's the one I keep coming back to.

    I second the Black Velvet kit. I really like it. It's a whole lotta drum. It punches through just about any mix well. Lots of presets.

    I third the Black Velvet kit .......it's (generally) my go to kit and sounds really good without any tweaking.

    Can I hear a fourth?    OK - there it is.    
     
    Fairfax and Black Velvet are my two AD2 favorites, yet different enough to cover some ground.

    Good to know.  I was worried there might be some overlap.

    Nobody has any opinions on Indie?
