I wonder if it supports their CC-based articulation switching scheme; Spitfire were championing that a while ago and I had hopes DAW and notation software makers would catch on as it would be easy to create a coherent control scheme based on standardized CC rather than variable, movable KS.

Re: reverb, Spitfire has always preferred very wet recordings. Their close mics in Albion are about equal to EW 'mid' mics, which are themselves quite wet already! Wet recordings *can* sound fantastic out of the box to a basic user, but of course the lack in flexibility is very rough. I would have hoped with a library like this they would have provided mid or 'podium-position' samples.
