Confused About the Extended Feature Set and Lexham Handbooks

I read the other post about the Extended Feature Set on here, and I'm still confused.

I currently have the following:

Logos Now Membership

Logos 7 Platinum Library

Logos Cloud Plus Subscription

Does the Logos 7 Extended Feature Set have anything I don't already own or are renting in the above? I can't really tell from the comparison chart or "New to You".

Also, I'm confused as to the difference between the Lexham Discourse Handbook Bundle and the Lexham High Definition Commentaries. What exactly is the difference between the two?

Thanks!

    I can't give a definitive answer, but I know that when I looked, the New To You included things that I do have access to as part of Now. They new to you seems to only cover stuff you own and not stuff you're renting. In other words, I'm assuming that the features on the list of "new to you" that I do have access to would go away if I quit my Now sub.

    I don't know how hard it would be for them to program the website to have a third option - stuff I don't own or rent. That would be helpful, but may be too much coding.

    I agree that it's confusing to know which items really are new versus what we already have temporary access to via subscription.

    It might be easier for FL to merely add a second (N) icon to items which are part of the Logos Now subscription.

    That would spare them from having to change the New-to-you feature, and avoid having to lookup additional user details to dynamically serve up renting data, line-by-line.

    Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

    [Y] Good idea.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I like that idea as well. It's good to know I likely have the content already in Logos Now. I have emailed my sales rep to confirm whether the Extended Feature Set would truly benefit me or not with what I already have.

    I have confirmed with my sales rep that for those on Logos Now, you do have the features of the Extended Feature Set. The main thing this provides is ownership-access to the BIble browser and some other resources you do receive in Logos Now, so it's a way for people adamant about not joining Logos Now to get all the Logos features and resources and previously Logos Now exclusive features released in 7 (Bible Browser) in a purchase/ownership model.
