Seems to work well but I don't really like computers. Some times I think I should just buy a really good piano.

I'm sure we have different needs for these instruments, but I couldn't do my job without Kontakt.  It's deep, but it's robust and well designed.  Anyone who owns the Chamber Winds, Angry Strings or Plucked piano for their tron is essentially playing a Kontakt patch :>)

Well I have been messing about with Kontakt 5 for few days and will be saving up for the Electro 4 or something similar.

I was trying out the Nord Electro 4 HP73 at the week end which I really liked. However it is really just a keyboard that plays back samples. I have a weighted action midi keyboard and a PC already and for a 10th of the price could use Kontakt 5. Has anybody on the list used both? Any thoughts?
