Nine-Volt Audio sale - worth it?

[Flexstyle]

So, Nine-Volt Audio is selling a big ol' package of loops for about $300, when they claim it'd otherwise go for about $2400. The demo sounds really good, and reviews from publications I trust (Computer Music, Sound On Sound, etc.) are pretty good. Has anyone else here ever used NVA's loop packages, and would you consider this a good deal?

I signed up for their mailing list a couple months ago when they were giving away one of the libraries free to advertise the bundle and was hoping against odds that the bundle would be in the sub-$150 range when released. $300 still seems like a decent price to me, but I just don't use REX loops enough to justify the purchase. If you use loops a lot and the included loops look relevant to your musical interests (the collection seems very guitar-oriented), it could be worth it. The $100 MSRP for the individual libraries strikes me as a bit high, but again, I don't use REX loops much, so I'm not really sure what the REX market looks like.

I got one of their products for free, guitars or something, but I don't really use non-drum REX loops. Quality seems decent, though. personally there's too much melodic content in this bundle to make it worthwhile for me.

[Flexstyle]

I actually like melodic content, as it tends to make a really good jumping-off point for me, especially when trying to make music VERY quickly (e.g. competitions or paid soundtrack work).

[Argle]

Oh. Well I don't have to worry about stuff like that. this bundle might be useful for you, then.

Still considering buying this. Did you get it Flex? What are your thoughts?
