elite reverb worth it?

Im looking at the elite reverb that you can purchase alongside 8.5 for 100$ and Im wondering what the general consensus is on its value.  I listened to the demo tracks and I guess they sounded ok to my ears, but not terribly better than the standard stuff that comes with sonar.  I admit my ear isnt tuned to that sort of thing though, so maybe Im missing something.  has anyone used that particular reverb and is it worth the money?  Is something else out there better?  Or is the default stuff cakewalk has just fine?  Thoughts?
 
Thanks!

    You should try the demo first from IK before you commit to $100!

    CSR gets really good reviews but if you aren't a reverb aficionado the $100 may be better spent elsewhere.  Producer Edition comes with Perfect Space Convolution Reverb and can load 3rd party impulses to really expand what it can do.  Get more impulses from this thread at KVR:

    My favorites are Prosoniq's and rhythminmind's impulses.

    most authors of novels regarded as classics are dead, classic novels are, therefore, most likely to be written by dead people.

    I was also considering the Elite reveb offer.  I'm using some awsome 3rd party impulses in Pefect Space (for free) - I don't know if I can get much better than the convolution reverb concept so I bypassed elite reverb.
