I know that most organ-fans are not wealthy business man. Every penny counts. So I got gladly the new HW4 Basic edition ($249) so I could play St. Anne organ -an another free organs- in all its splendor. And in fact, I did: it sounds like the the real organ. Marvelously.
But after that experience I felt the need of play at home one of my dream organs, so I studied Hinsz at Kampen ($1247)and then the Arlesheim´s A. Silbermann recently released by Organ Art Media ($330 introductory offer).
In spite of financial shortcomings I bought Silbermann magnificent virtual organ , but immediately I realized that in order to play it in all its splendor I would have to do two things: increase RAM to my computer and upgrade to the HW Advanced edition (+$370) which allows voicing of the pipes.
Right now I can do what could not be even a dream 15 years ago: to play one of the most magnificent organs at home. Now I do not need other entertainments so I will pay my debts soon.
Finally, my recommendation for playing-organ-lovers is that if they plan to acquire this fantastic program (HW4) buy directly the Advanced Edition.
If someone likes to take a look to my HW project, he can view:

Progress have been made since then.
I recommend every organ lover to install HW 4...If I had had it 20 years ago...
