Anyone Using AAS Strum Acoustic Session?

I just saw this product for creating strummed acoustic guitars on the Cakewalk Store for under $20 (marked down from $100): AAS Strum Acoustic Session
 
I already have RealGuitar2 and Acoustic Legends HD, but, as much as I use acoustic guitar rhythm tracks, I am always open for something else--especially at this price.  I don't think anything is going to replace RealGuitar, but I like to change sounds at times, or use more than one sound on the same track.
 
The price, however, makes me question the quality.  Have any of you used this and, if so, is the sound good?  By good, I mean, "Would you put it on a record?"
 
Thanks.

    It's worth the $20 but it is not a replacement/alternative for RealGuitar or a substitute for a real guitar.

    Sadly, I paid $79 for it from AAS just before CW put it on sale.

    It's a really nice VST - I got it on this sale price too when there was an additional discount, so it came to around $15.  Amazing give-away price for a fairly sophisticated unit.  It'll do just fine in a mix.

    Cool.  At this price, what could it hurt?

    For the record, although Acoustic Legends HD is good for solo lines (and some chording in certain situations), when it comes to strumming, it cannot touch RealGuitar, either in sound or function.
