Picking out non-redundant Toontrack SDXs

In a happy surprise, I have a few bucks to blow at Amazon, who happen to fulfill Audiodeluxe orders on Toontrack products. I definitely don't need any more drums, but as I'm moving out of the USA, I literally have to order SOMEthing in the next day or so. I already have the NY-Vol II SDX, which is really quite wonderful. I am considering adding either the Roots sticks SDX or the Music City SDX. With that said, I already have the Americana and Nashville EZXs - is it at all redundant to add one of the 'overlapping' SDXs? I'm into pretty standard classic rock/country/blues sort of stuff. Of course, I could just order a pair of shoes, but thought I'd see if anyone had any thoughts. TIA

I find the Music City to be very different than the Nashville, it's not reduntant at all. The Chuck Ainlay presets with Music City are great, but you need plenty of ram to load them. They load on my 8 gig machine, but not my 4 gig (my 4 gig is XP 32 bit, so that could also play a big factor). I'm not a big fan of the midi files with Music City (just not for what I do), so I mostly use the Nashville and Americana midi's with it.

I don't have Roots so I can't comment on that one. Would love to get it though!

Roots Mallets and Brushes is a great and different set of tools to have.  That said, if you don't need drums, you might look at EZMix2 or the new EZKeys.

Absolutely agree with our'olpal.  In my post above I should have said that Roots Mallots & Brushes is my favorite.  EZKeys is nice if you are not a pianist.

Superior's Metal Foundry is not, contrary to conventional naming wisdom, just a "metal" kit. It's probably the most versatile SDX of them all, IMO. Not to say that it can cover every genre but for over all Rock it covers a lot.
