I just got my N.I. Komplete 2 package containing Kontakt and it's hard to
believe how much it beats the EXS hands down when it comes to anything such
as live performing.
Want a layer? Easy, just drag the second intrument into the rack.
Want two sounds to play on two different MIDI channels? Easy, just drag
again and change the MIDI channel.
Want to save your instrument with the required amount of EQ/Reverb/Delay to
suit the performance? Again, you may have guessed: Easy, just dial in the
effects in Kontakt.
Need some complete performance patches? Load a multi.
And so on.
And you don't need to have Logic in play mode either.
Plus, you could also use the standalone which might raise stability (even if
I don't experience stability issues yet).

The EXS is still great for efficiency, stability and easy building of easy
patches (the automap feature is just great), but if I had to perform some
live stuff I'd go for something else

Seriously, I'm not up to some EXS slagging, but it's simply not up to date
anymore, especially for such things.
