I am attaching an Excel file that shows how the Master Collection 2010 stacked up against my Portfolio Library that had many add-ons. The file has only the 2,010 books that make up the Christmas 2010 Master Collection. Books that were in my library were highlighted yellow. Those that I did not have and were only included in the Master Collection (not the 1,000 book collection) were highlighted in Pink. This is basically what I used to determine that the Master Collection (even with nearly 700 duplicating titles in my current library) was more than worth the asking price. Especially since many of the collections that were on my "purchase eventually list" were complete in the Christmas 2010 Master Collection.
Hopefully my efforts will help some of you sort things out and save lots of you some time.

Below is sort of a summary of what I have discovered and it was enough for me to determine that the Master Collection is a Great Bargain for me (and I have Portfolio). If you have any of the other base packages, there would be even fewer duplicates for you.
All of the following collections are COMPLETE in the Christmas 2010 Master Collection (2,010 vols.) :

That's it, I'm done. I placed my order yesterday. Although I may work on the collections within the Excel file somemore in preparation of creating Collections when the resources download. If I do, I will post the new file as an add-on posting later.
I have to say the posting at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/27574/203975.aspx#203975 has a nice conversation going on in it.
Here is a thought to consider. So if you only got 1,340 resources from the collection at $2,010. that would be $1.50 per resource. Now if you think of those resources you really value (you know the ones on your "list") that are included in the Collection, what would they cost you any other time of the year?
Thank you Logos for such a tremendous offering!
Have a wonderful CHRISTmas everyone!
