FWIW here are a few things to keep in mind.

1-an external SSD is only as fast as your USB port. In other words it will be no faster than an external HD. If you want the fast speed a SSD will give you it should be installed internally.

2-Doesn't the Audiophile version come on an external HD? You should be able to use that. But I would back it up first just in case of a problem.

3-I have found that many styles are not limited to their genre. I have used jazz styles in country and visa-versa as well as other "cross contamination :-}

YMMV
