When I saw the demo video by the great orchestrator Paul Thompson, I was immediately convinced and was ready to buy it - just hearing the demo of the string sections and the brass sounds.
My initial download failed because the .AAX plugin was not recognized by ProTools in Mojave, but Spitfire's support team responded within hours of my letting them know - which is amazing, considering that they are in a time zone eight hours ahead of West Coast time.
I installed the replacement plug-in and was immediately off and running. As is my habit, I assigned the luxurious vibrato control AS WELL as the dynamic layer control to my foot pedal (CC11) - and I was ready to shed tears off the bat!
SOOO beautiful, well balanced and a hyper-realistic room sound the Spitfire team captured - which is now at my fingertips.
Brass, Percussion and Mix patches are of equal quality and the emotional expression that begins to flow out of one's hands with this library is unparalleled.

That being said, there are 2 drawbacks: the smaller one being that there is no velocity dynamic response to the patches - which for my keyboard based work I desperately need.
You can see the detailed explanation why I find this essential right here in this video at 07:40
The larger one is that, with my 2 yr old iMac Pro with 64 gigs of RAM I could not play large polyphonic chords at a buffer setting of 256 in ProTools ultimate without the app totally shutting down my audio bus, inside and outside Protools when choosing more than 2 of the microphone mixes (Closeup + Decca Tree + Spill mics).
The app seems to need to be streamlined as this never happens with the lean machine that Kontakt always was - and still is.
This is a first look so stay tuned for updates
