If the Vintage D sounds as good as its demos and the Kontakt 4/5 player is stable (it should be very good from using earlier versions), save yourself a couple hundred bucks and buy the vintage D. I have Ivory II but i can't argue w MacMacMac. It's absolutely fantastic.FWIW, I recommend it over Ivory.Re: Ivory II: how to try before buy?11/14/11 04:55 PM. A small leap of faith, backed by strong recommendations (instead of a bigger/costlier (Ivory) leap of faith, backed by tepid recommendations).Vintage D is SO much better than Ivory 1.5 that I've not touched Ivory since I got Vintage D. Since Vintage D is a single piano, it's much cheaper than Ivory 2 (which has 3 or 4 pianos). Do I want to spend $400 just for a half-pedal capability? Hmmmm.I later read a number of posts here extolling the virtues of Galaxy Vintage D. And I mostly read that Ivory 2 is either 'slightly better' or 'no different' than Ivory 1.5. Unfortunately there is no way to demo the product. I have Ivory 1.5, and I wanted Ivory 2 just to get the half-pedal capability. Regarding the 'huge leap of faith - to the darkness'.I had the same dilemma.
