i use both,

kontakt is much more flexible especially when the real time timemachine (not
the logic one) comes in.
i hate the interface however. ni design is not of my kind and their desicion
to even create standard toolbox interface objects them self is wrong for
powerusers (imho), it only looks better on the box. (for example the
filebrowser: only displays upper character ... good job ni. !)
you will need a fast computer for kontakt, otherwise its reaction to your
action (not musical) is a drag.

the exs is my choice for playback of librarys and "bread and butter".
buts its un-logic instrument editor is a mayor drawback when you want to
take things further. the mapping is much better in kontakt than in the exs
where its not graphical at all and a pita if you ask me.
on the other hand, the exs is much "nicer" on your cpu.

i'd say with the kombination of both you are very well prepared for
anything... besides 5.1 where both are missing out on.

hths,
