This is probably no help to you at all, Ned, but I haven't used my EXS24 
at all after having it for about a year. Occasionally I fire it up, play 
with it for a few minutes til I get totally disgusted with the 
drop-outs, missing notes and barely 6 voices of polyphony, then put it 
away again. (Obviously, I need to properly sort out what the problem(s) 
is/are, but I haven't got around to it.)

G4 733MHz, 1.5GB RAM, OS 9.2.2, separate 80GB HD for audio, Logic 
Platinum 5.5 (I've tried it with many different amounts of RAM 
allocated), virtual sample memory on.

So I've got way less idea than you have about how to get 150 voices out 
of it.
