And on yet another note, I can confirm that Platinum "E" is working better than even X3e did. Latest project has 5 instances of Kontakt, with a total of 17 libraries loaded, an instance of Omnisphere with 5 channels running, BFD3 and nary a hiccup (I've gone and cursed myself now I imagine). With X3e, I'd get nervous around the third instance of Kontakt.
We'll see how it goes when I get to the mixing stage, but so far, I have been pleasantly surprised that the monthly updates haven't caused more issues.
