Jeff,

If you did not want to be on OS X now I would recommend the "Big Box" as a great starting solution.

EXS24 retails for US$399 you can buy it for less than $300.
EXSP24 retails for US$179 you can buy it for less than $130.

As I said before if you buy logic you can try the exs24 fully functioning for 12 weeks (it was this long for the upgrade though maybe only 28 days if you buy Logic new).
See if you like it and if you will use it, then buy it later.

As I said before EXS24 is better than the EXSP24 and as you have stated that you want to work in OS X it is your only option at the moment as it works now, EXSP24 does not work in OS X.

Yes they do sound the same "gdoubleyou" as all they are both doing is playing back wave/aiff/SD files etc, however there are more features in EXS, you have stated some.
The EXSP24 doesn't provide any sample editing features at a waveform/keygroup level.
Basically EXS24 is a sampler EXSP24 is a sample playback device.
EXSP24 also doesn't load giga library.
So if you don't want to make or edit your own samples EXSP24 would be fine (except for the fact it doesn't load Giga and doesn't work on OS X yet).

Do you have a fast internet connection jeff?
I can point you to some more free sample sites, however there are probably over 1 gigabyte worth of samples.

In answer to your other question from previous post I do have some examples of my work on the net. I will send you a link.
