Ilio's Vienna Symphonic Library and EXS-24

Hi,

I was visiting www.ilio.com today

http://www.ilio.com/vienna/index.html

to get a handle on the older, second generation VSL,
particularly because it is still being
sold and because it is formatted for EXS-24 (among others),
and most importantly, with the Performance Set, Pro Edition
for $2,290, I would have the ability to play legato notes.

Is there anyone out there using both the VSL and the legato
performance tool with the legato samples (admittedly, quite
an investment in money)? If I were to eventually purchase this,
it would be to use their legato samples and the legato tool (and,
of course, repeated notes without the machine gun effect,
and so forth).

Note: I have libraries for strings, brass, and woodwinds, but they
do not support a "legato tool" concept on the Macintosh for
Logic Pro's EXS-24.

Does anyone wish to venture a guess as to how long Ilio will be
selling this second generation Vienna Symphonic Library that
runs on EXS-24? I ask, of course, because I do not immediately
have thousands of dollars available at this time.

Does anyone having the performance tool wish to make a general
comments about their satisfaction? For instance, does everything
run seamlessly with EXS-24 in Logic Pro?

Thanks much,
Sys6

P.S.
My current libraries do not support a "legato tool" concept for
the Macintosh: Garritan Orchestral Strings, Westgate Studio
Enhanced Woodwind Collection, SampleTekk Brass, and
Complete Project Sam Orchestral Brass Collection.
