I have invested the bulk of my sample library investment in VSL because I felt they had the 'vision' needed to continually innovate. I am quite confident this will be the case. Exciting times are ahead - that is for sure.

VSL certainly has the vision. They are the only one's who don't play games with their sampling and do things right and fully.
One of the things I find appealing about Synful, apart from the already mentioned qualities, is the fact that it is so very light on system resources - its power needs are minimal. You can run it on almost any sort of system, including semi-antiquated laptops.
If in future updates VSL's legato patches could become 'hybrids' - full untampered with wavs, but using some sort of advanced synthesis for the connections ands attacks (synful's specialty) which require little to no extra system resources, that might be a 'best of both worlds' scenario.
On the other hand, the end of the 2gig ram barrier is nearly at hand and such things won't really matter any more... I'm really frothing at the mouth for this... 16gigs in a single system - twice the loading power in one box than what you would currently have with a network of eight systems!
An Opus bundle user like me could load every last sample, and it would only take up a fraction of total system resources... no more network glitches every other day... ah pleasant speculations... [[;)]][/i]
