I am ready to purchase a Valhalla reverb.  
These are the choices:
 
1. Vintage
2. Room
3. Shimmer
 
What would you recommend for a good overall general purpose reverb?  I don't have a lot to spend and I just want to try something new.  I have read many good things about Valhalla and I think I want "Room".  Any suggestions?
 
Thanks.

I have 'Room' and 'Vintage. Bought 'Room' first and it is still my personal preference for algo reverbs.

For general purpose use...ROOM...hands down...
 
 

+1 on Room.  You can download it and also Vintage and try them out in advance to see which you prefer.

Give this a shot too...it's free ..if you don't like it ...get rid of it...

But the demo sounds good...

I have Room. I like it.

The way the developer describes it, Vintage puts back in some of the ideosyncracies (read: "defects") that Room goes to great lengths to take out. Those peculiarities are considered part of the "vintage" sound, and that's why it was done, and why it was named "Vintage".
 
For myself, VRoom is so versatile and so difficult to make sound bad, I can't imagine using something else just because it more closely emulates less-sophisticated devices of yesteryear. Then again, I don't have VVV  - for that reason - so I could be totally wrong. I just know that since I've had VRoom I've lost interest in looking at any other reverbs. I'm set.

 I'm set.

I say that because I'm broke too.
 
Hmmmm.....

The ONLY verb left for me to get is an actual Lexi 480L (OKAY actually the Lexi PCM Bundle would be more reasonable and it really would be the last verb/delay I get).

For general purpose Room or Vintage are good. IMO Room is better for that real room sound. It's very smooth and natural. Vintage is modeled to sound like older hardware and although it doesn't sound as natural it sounds good in its own way. For example I'd use Room for orchestral or acoustic music and vintage for electronic music or 80s music. Of course there is a lot of overlap so you can use either for most things.
