Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Orchestra: Metal Percussion

If it's indeed Metals recorded in Abbey Road (which seems quite likely at this point) and if it sells for $449 (like the other two percussion libs from that series), I am wondering the following: is there any lib with similar content and price point with which we should compare it?

I'd say VSL Synchron Percussion, but it depends on how ridiculous the metals recorded are -- VSLs are mainly orchestral based, but I have a feeling from the video and knowing Spitfire that there's gonna be a bunch of esoteric stuff recorded with a jug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, a well recorded, deeply sampled orchestral metallophone library would easily be worth $449 if it was extensive.

Crotales, Xylophone, Glock, maybe Vibraphone, Chimes, Gongs, Tamtams, Cymbals, Thundersheets, Celeste, Triangles, Cowbells, etc. Soniccouture has a limited Orchestral Perc bundle for $5-600.
 
Just sharing my thoughts here :

What if this is a new Charlie Clouser library like Hammers ?
Or experimental Percussion Library like Resonate or even Percussion Swarm ?
Maybe a new library in their Solar engine ?

Spitfire used the caption "The culmination of over 20 years experience", which they also used for the last two ARO's. I'm 100% certain it's an ARO. Makes sense too because High Percussion didn't have any metals in them. Not even a tambourine in the toys patch.
 
The floor looks like it could be Abbey Road studio one... or Air Lyndhurst haha. Actually Air looks a little darker in some pictures.
