I don’t think ST3 is bad, I think it's actually pretty good! No it is not world class in any category, but neither are Kontakt 5 FACTORY offerings, and that's ALL I'm comparing - FACTORY libraries only.

I did not get a full copy of ST3 to evaluate. I listened to some of their audios and read how others either liked or disliked on other forums. After I got the ST3SE I listened to what was offered and thought it wasn't worth it. I still think Kontakt is a better deal because of the extra sounds you can purchase from both NI and third party sources but YMMV.

FWIW I think that if one has Kontakt one does not need ST3, but this is only my opinion. You may disagree but that is fine.
Like I said YMMV as sound sources are a very independent and personal thing. What I think is great others may think is junk, and visa-versa.
