I'm in the same ballpark regarding NI. I will do my best to not spend any more money with them unless they clean up their act. (or I have to...)

Also, I wonder what happened with them and the Scarbee collaboration? Everything Scarbee did, before NI, was great. After he joined NI it was one problem after another...

Sounds great, it is a good choice to me. I believe so. Kontakt 5 is a decent one.

I've got all the other NI Pianos in Komplete 8 Ultimate, True Pianos (full version) a plethora in Sample Tank, Ivory II & Ivory II Italian and that recent Spitfire Orchestral Grand. Not sure I **neeeeed** this one. For $30 I'd buy it but not $119.
