UVI library/effects growth seems faster than Kontakt finally

Very impressed by all of the recent offerings from UVI and associated vendors, and feel that finally this engine has enough material to go up against Kontakt as a host for libraries that cover the gamut, with more programmability and appropriateness for synthesis (and not just sampling) as well.
As I bought into Falcon when it came out, I'm unfortunately not able to judge where MachFive owners stand regarding new material (I own MachFive v3 but rarely launch it anymore). I think most new UVI offerings are compatible, except for some of the synth-oriented ones that use the synthesis engine that is unique to Falcon.
I used UVI Digital Motion for several tracks on an ambient space theme this past weekend. It layers well without the usual frequency stacking issue when using the same synth; perhaps because it is primarily FM-based.
Just now, I finished downloading the new piano library, based on a 1909 Pleyel model, and including a lot of preparations as well -- equivalent probably to Soniccouture's Xtended Piano library (which I own, but which is based on a Yamaha grand).
