Unless you think the MPB could handle EWQL & NI??

I was going to do screen share so I could quickly switch between them.
The MBP could handle both but make sure the sample libraries are on fast ssd's. But really I would split them with Play on one and NI on the other running VEPro servers on both which would mean you'd need two licenses and two Vienna Keys. NI (actually Kontakt) sucks at memory and cpu management which is why you'd want to run it in VEPro server.
