Why is the free expansion DVD not enough?
That is my question also. Evan, can you describe what articulations/instruments/variations you believe Opus 1 will have that FE owners will not have given the free additions? Thanks.

Because of all the stuff in OPUS 1 that is not found in the DVD Update and in our First Edition. Figure it out Peter, I mean come on, why ask a question for which the answer does not even concern you? We current First Edition users understand the differences pretty clearly. Some of us are wanting a VIP upgrade as noted by the responses here, and some of us would rather go to Pro Edition. (Only those who want to go to the pro Edition kind of disrespectfully voted NO without consideration for those wanting a VIP price. Of course a VIP upgrade price is optional. No one demands that you must upgrade to OPUS 1.) This thread is to vote for the option of a VIP upgrade. Everything else at VSL has a corresponding VIP upgrade price. I'm just asking for consistency. Maybe in the next 48 hours I'll post a rundown for everyone who doesn't understand, here.@peter0302 said:
I don't have VSL First Edition but I just have a question for all of you: why do you want to upgrade to Opus 1? Why is the free expansion DVD not enough?
Thanks john.@JohnA said:
NO
I'd rather spend the extra to get the PRO Edition - more comprehensive coverage of the additional instruments makes the difference for me.
I see. That is a very valiant viewpoint. honorable.@Fred Story said:

When I bought first Edition, I understood clearly what I was getting for the price, and that as a VIP member, I had an upgrade path to the Pro Edition and Symphonic Cube. That was the promise made to me by VSL, and they're keeping it. Why should I expect them to include any NEW product they happen to introduce along the way?
Maybe I wasn't clear about that in the original. We're just asking for the option. We're not twisting your arm and making you choose between a VIP for Pro and VIP for OPUS 1.
So I'm afraid I relate to Herb a little more on this one. Based on what I read in these forums, I see him continue to bend over backwards to please his customers, and they just keep demanding more and more. If I were in his shoes (and this is just ME talking), I'd be asking, "Geez, when is it enough?"When there is the appropriate VIP upgrade price on the OPUS 1. That IS enough. In exchange, most of us would gladly see him remove the extra stuff recently additionally promised for the free update, which is seemingly some attempt at satisfying those who wanted what's on the OPUS 1, and instead, allow us to purchase the OPUS 1 at a price that Herb is comfortable with and is a VIP price.
Well, I'll post a rundown then of the differences. Right off the bat I can think of all those performance instruments which are the "gold" to so many VSL users.@peter0302 said:
Nobody has yet explained what will be on Opus 1 that won't be included in the First Edition after the DVD upgrade. Sounds like people are just getting greedy.
And don't fire off an angry response - I have a right to disagree and don't appreciate people slamming me if I do.The intensity of the slam can be directly proportionate to the level of disagreement you choose to state. Everyone get's what they deserve in the end. But from how I see it, I am not angry at you. I don't intend to fire off an angry response. It is not anger to disagree.
