Define OLD ST do you mean 2.5 or 3?

In either case, for ORCHESTRAL sounds this is better IMHO then either, especially over ST2 and I like ST2/3 for NON-symphonic sounds (I'm not including Miro 2, different animal).

But subjective "quality" aside this is going to be a lot faster to USE to actually put-out/lay-down a fast "orchestration" than ST2 or Kontakt doing it instrument by instrument - section my section.

If you never do anything like that anyway save your nickles and dimes. The drain your bank account season is just getting started!
