@Tolailama - Regaarding the MegaPro Studio SoundFonts, I don't have enough experience with them yet to give a detailed recommendation. What I can say is that some of the SoundFonts are decent, and others, very "MIDI" sounding - artificial, tinny. My experience has been that with the cheap/free SoundFont collections (or VST's, etc.) it's usually a mixed bag - there's nothing in that price range that's going to provide good sounds for Guitar and Strings and Trumpets for example, but you might get one of them. So what I'm doing is picking and choosing the best sounds from each set.

So the best advice I can give is to listen to any samples that are available of the SoundFonts with a very critical ear and know that they have selected some of the best, and if possible try a free or smaller, cheaper package before going with a big purchase and see how you like it first, and don't be afraid to be picky - a lot of these SoundFonts sound OK at first but when you actually use them and listen to them repeatedly, you'll start to hear the flaws.

I fully agree with what others have posted - you will definitely have better sounds with the premium products like Native Instruments and the like, so before you lock yourself in, find out what you can be satisfied with. In general, cutting corners and sacrificing quality for $$ by buying cheap stuff needs to be carefully considered. I've regretted it a few times in my own experience. With the free stuff you're only spending time and effort.
