You mean this collection?

http://www.soundsonline.com/EASTWEST-FAB-FOUR-pr-EW-170.html

I almost purchased it until I found out that you have to pay an additional $40 for a PACE iLok Security Key on top of the $355 for the software just to tie up another USB port.  Besides the extra $$$ for the Security Key, there have been reported  problems with it and also with the engine. Postings on kvraudio.com have been less than favorable.
