I have EWQLSO Platinum, which I love. But I took a listen to the KH demos for Spotlight Strings and really like the way they sound. Very delicate passages and then big sounds as well. I can only really afford to get Spotlight Strings or Concert Strings 2. Which of these would complement EWQLSO better, in your opinions, of course.

I bought Concert Strings 2 to replace EWQLSO since I'm sick of Play and it does quite a good job for that. It sounds good at large stuff, and small. Doesn't have quite as big a setup as some of the EW patches, but still good.
 
Also very easy to control. Very easy to select the style and accent you want. The whole "TVEC" thing he likes to go on about really means "Clever Kontakt script." It does a great job controlling everything liek articulations n' accents n' stuff in a very satisfactory way.

I still love EWQLSO, but I never updated the Play engine to version 4. To date, v3.xx is pretty stable on my system, but I generally load less than 12 instruments at a time in Play. Have you had the chance to take a look at Spotlight Strings?

I am not going to get spotlight as I'm not so in to the solo strings thing. Concert Strings 2 does a pretty good job with solo to the extent that I need it. It looks neat and all but I've already spent way more than I should since this is purely a toy for me.

This is one I am going to pass.  Not because it is not worth it, but I already own CS2, CB2, and Diamond.  I absolutely love the romantic solo violin in Diamond, and the solo Violin in CS2 is also good.   I have high praise for KH Strings.  I am sure this is a good product, even a great one, but I have my strings "fix" covered for a while.

I have all of Kirks stuff and it's very nice.  Best deal around, by far...and the deal relates to all his stuff, not just spotlight...
 
Hope it gets to 50 % as spotlight looks nice and easy to use, which would complement Albion Iceni wonderfully!
 
 

Need a 119 more people to get 50%.....

I've gotten in on two prior group buys and refunds are made immediately after Group Buy is over.  He was very diligent and quick about it...and besides, you don't need to buy anything right now if that's a concern.
 
btw, Mesh, your table turned out like mine when I tried to post it... not very useful!  forum must strip out the formatting.

I'm in on the Group Buy.

I'll mention again, as I have in other similar posts, that I ran across a link in a KVR post to a piece that a guy did using Spotlight Strings. He's obviously a good composer. That said, it is very nice and interesting to hear Spotlight Strings heavily used in an actual song. It helped me make my decision. Here's the link again:

Very NICE!  thanks, java!  This definitely did it for me! As I have all his other stuff I was gonna pass but this is quite nice and the new interface is intriguing...Have been spending time on v.i. control and a few other forums and am amazed at the money others are paying for some packages...

Just checked the GB this morning and it looks like it is still sitting around 181. Does not seem to be moving as fast as I thought it would and only 2 weeks to go it may not make 50% off. I and I'm guessing others are waiting to see if it hits 50% before committing.
 
He might make more money if he just had a 50% off sale and let the GB go.
