Quick background: My only strings are Komplete 10 so I want to get better strings for both my desktop and laptops. FWIW I have played piano forever and used to play horn in orchestras, so I know some orchestration - but want this orchestral library to be pretty simple and quick. I used to score TV and a little film/documentary stuff as a sideline...mostly classically influenced tracks, although I've played in rock bands and play some jazz, so it's a mix. My son is a hip-hop producer, now getting a big dose of classical music in college/conservatory and also needs an upgrade from K10.
Between the current NI deal (ending soon) and educational discounts, I could get either Cinematic Studio Strings or Inspire 1&2 for roughly the same price. I've watched videos and read - they both sound terrific, appear easy to use and light on hardware. However, I'll get more variety and other instruments from Inspire, plus that sale will end. So I should get Inspire 1/2? What am I missing (anything?)?
Thanks in advance for helpful comments and suggestions.
