Cheers synkroton for the review. Think I'll check that new Session first, to get an idea.

When I go to the AAS product page, I see this:-
 

 
I dunno... Perhaps it's because I'm in the UK...

Did you get an email from AAS about the upgrade?  The link in that email should show the right prices.

A good question, and I'm not sure... I may have deleted it as spam 
 
Not to worry, I've done it now, and while I was at it I also upgraded my String Studio VSTi, at the same price.

Oh yeah, couldn't let it slide, could I ?
Had to go and buy it, didn't I ?
Well, it's in da house now!

Nice one 
 
Post something when you've had a bash and made a toon with it 

First impressions: sweet-a-pa-teet indeed.
For those in doubt: there's a tasty video or two from AAS showing both the acoustic and electric side of Strum GS-2.
As for pricing, their site is showing $149/$29/$49 now (https://www.applied-acoustics.com/strum-gs-2).

I watched the videos and, what ever presets they're using, both sound "plastic".
The acoustic sounds like a Classical and the Electric sounds like a "Classical Electric".
They don't sound like steel strings to me.  

Granted that might be the preset they are using...but it didn't sound "real" to me...
which was what the problem was with the GS-1...

Thanks for the update. I use both A AS Strum and Music Labs Real Guitar, which I like better, but they both are two good acoustic guitars.

THIS sounds real...

and it should for what it costs...

Yeah, I guess that it is difficult to model a true steel string sound and I've not explored much of the latest Strum to hear if things have improve. Which sound a bit daft of me. But the main reason I have opted for AAS Strum over sample libraries, is I try to stay away from sampler stuff.
 
The only sample players I do use is Battery and BFDeco, but I also use Drumaxx, which uses physical modelling, like the AAS products.
 
If I do have to eat my words with regards to using samples, it will only be because I'm creating my own guitar samples...
 
Also, and I might have mentioned this earlier, I am usually putting Strum through either GR5, TH2 or something like Saturn, so I'm not too bothered about the Strum sounds not coming across as "real."
 
That Hummingbird sounds the woofs nuts, but I'm still saying "no."
