I can mix with just both collection and they compensate each other quite nicely. Of course, more flavours are welcomed, but they're pretty much covered what I want. I'm happy to have both, cause I rarely deal with analog gear and I did a lot of ITB thing. However, V-S can be disturbing when the source track has been captured nicely, SSL will be better for clean boost/cut.

If you're curious, buy an ilok if you don't already have, and download them to give a shot for 7 days demo.

I have both and he got it right. I could live with just those 2 bundles and be done with Plugin EQ. Now I don't care for the Compressor part of the channel strip on the SSL plugs, but the V Compressor is very good. When I bought the V series, I took a song that I primarily used SSL plugs on, and replaced them with V and the mix was very different, but both were very good. Like the guy said, one was fatter and the other had more punch. I would also call the V smooth. Dutchmusik on eBay also has good deals on the plugs as well.
