Well, I would only buy Platinum 3.5 so I can get 4.0 more cheaply by upgrading I'd love to get rid of Kontakt which I find a bit clumsy.

If the upgrade is somehow ridiculously expensive I'd just stick with 3.5 until there's a sale. The sale is still on, 125$ for the d/l version. I'm really itchin' to buy but Slate obviously is not giving any pricing for an upgrade so I haven't yet done so.

I like the pre-processed drums, saves me some time and I can't get the same results with raw wavs that Slate offers anyway. They sound good as they are and there's enough variety for my purposes. I have Battery 3 that has a bunch of raw kits and can load free sample kits into it too, if I need that kinda thing. Btw, thanks for telling me about Analogue...I downloaded their Big Mono kit for Battery 3, we'll see how it sounds
