I'm trying to see which may be the better deal. I see waves has the EP88 on sale for $39. The Velvet is part of the Air complete upgrade which is $80 US. The Lounge Lizard is $99 from cakewalk or part of the $299 upgrade for Platinum.
 
So any suggestions on the instruments? Is the EP88 any good or just a waste of money? Or is the Velvet comparable to the EP88 and LL? I might add I'm really not to sure I need yet another set of pianos but want to take advantage of the sales if they are worth the cost.

While the EP88 can be had for $29 at EveryPlugin with the KV146 code,
the AIEP Complete for $80 gets you a WHOLE LOT for few dollars more.
The QUESTION is...do you need MORE?

I don't really need more synths. I was trying to get an idea if someone has experience with the pianos and how they compare. The sampled ep's in the synths I have are ok but seem somewhat limited. If the Velvet is the better one then I will spring for it. The price of the LL will be a harder sell for me unless everyone says it's the best.

Nevermind. My bad. I found a comparison of these and more on youtube. I should have searched first. Thanks anyway.

I have the Lounge Lizard Session that comes with Sonar and I decided to get the Electric88. It was $20 cheaper than the LL upgrade. I really like it. Is Velvet $50 or $60 better?  Not to me.

 They way I look at it is LL at $49 upgrade. I can install on two systems.  I think that deal is still there.
 EP88 - $80 on two systems. Unless you want to mess with a USB stick or their cloud. Plus the WUP harassment.
 Velvet - single machine license, iLok protection which can create conflicts with the evolving Windows 10.

Lounge Lizard: tiny modeled footprint with amazing sound.
EP88: larger 'cause sampled but still small with good sound yet (too) short decay.
Velvet: (much) larger 'cause sampled but with a nicely full sound.

That pretty well explains it. Well done, Fleersy.
