....and I think I need to partake this time for the orchestra set. However, what other thing should I get? Everyone loves Stormdrum, but I don't know if I'm 100% sold on it, and I don't know if Goliath is worth $500. Anyone have any experience or recommendations?

I'm a total East/West (Play engine products) addict! I have: Symphonic Gold, Goliath, Fab Four, Gypsy, Stormdrum II & Voice of Passion. I WANT Silk, the new Symphonic Choirs (with words), Ra, Ministry of Rock and the Diamonds of the Orient perc set. It's no surprise that major film scoring guys like Elfman, Howard, etc. use these sets - they are fucking AWESOME!

Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I want something maybe more useful, but possibly redundant considering other stuff I have and also maybe not worth the "cost" (Goliath, Stormdrum), and something like the Choral program that sounds amazingly realistic and something I certainly can't recreate in any way with my set-up, but ultimately might not get used much.

Are the Goliath horn samples any good? I hear the guitar samples are good, but I think the Native Instruments guitars are quite sufficient. Not really in need of more drums/percussion....hmmm...

Haven't heard the new choral program (it's high on my list), but the Voice of Passion? Amazing - the samples and quasi-sequences are AMAZING, as the demo shows! I've used it now on three projects - a diffferent country/vocalist each time - they sound so cool!
