Bottom line, is the AIR 2 Instrument Expansion Pack worth it

[twdwyer]

Read about all of the issues surrounding the roll out, key people leaving the company, problems with distribution, yadda yadda...
Bottom line, is this product worth it? Is the company going to be around to support my investment? Is there an alternative bundle that's comparable (price, features) that I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance for any input....

Absolutely. 7 Vis for $300? I'm on PTHD 11 & so a must.

Downsides:
Only Vacuum 2 and Loom provide AU & VST for other DAWs.
Win and Mac purchases are independent (very unusual in my experience) so, if running cross-platform then this becomes a little expensive.

Otherwise, technically all AAX64 works very well, good libraries etc.

Thanks for the reply. I've been very pleased with the AIR instruments up to this point, and just became a little concerned with all of the recent "turbulence" with the company. Time to update! Thanks again.

When I purchase the upgrade I get Mac and Windows with separate authorizations so I can use on two computers. Is it different when you buy new?
