Definitely a clearer more classical sound with better room details in the VWinds. In the context of the "jazz noodle" I think I prefer the SWAM. They're both good, I think, just with different strengths. I might personally go for the VWinds Flutes, though. Still a bit of work to go before getting believable enough that it would fool me, but it's staggeringly close.

I put this kind of comparison video's up as opinionless as I can, but I'll totally agree with you. Since I play more pop/jazz/hybrid than classical music, I have a slight preference for SWAM. But if I wanted more realism, I probably would use VWinds or Aaron Venture's Infinite Woodwinds, which didn't participate in this comparison.

Is there a release date for Vwinds flutes yet?

[@Peethoven]

It's out now

It's out, but unlike previous times, they haven't (yet) updated their main page with the new product, so you have to look for it.
