8Dio Santur, Qanun, and Lyre (Any opinions on these from those who use them?)

I love world instruments like these, and I'm considering picking up one or more of these in the next week or so. Does anyone own any of them? Care to share your thoughts on them, both good and bad? If you had to choose one, which do you consider the best? From watching the walkthrough videos, I'm leaning toward the Qanun, but they all sound great. :)

    Bought the Qanun a while back. Lovely lovely sound and quite a bit of good articulations. As with 8Dio stuff in general it is very usable and high quality. About the only niggle I have is that there isn't a keyswitch version of the master patch.

    Hello,
     
    Actually there IS a keyswitch system - you just have to define the keyswitches yourself by clicking on the options wheel on the right side of each articulation, you can assign any MIDI key as a keyswitch, a MIDI CC or even a Velocity Range.
     
    Regards,
