inbalanced base packages

I'm thinking about buying an upgrade for my OL base package, an it amazes me how inbalanced the prices are. The Gold package has a 97 percent discount and the portfolio just a 86 percent!

I'd like to buy the portfolio, because of the size and completness, but the gold package is just a much better deal.

shouldn't the greatest package be the best deal normaly?

Not necessarily. Most people on here will tell you the Platinum package is the best bang for the buck. But, Logos realizes that people in the market for the Portfolio package are serious Bible-study users and so the enticement doesn't need to be quite as high (I'm guessing). It's still a pretty good deal for what you get.

Several people have been trying to get Logos to add a package in-between Platinum and Portfolio. That probably won't happen until L5 comes out, but you never know. The last couple of years they have offered some really good packages that well could be considered an "in-between" package.

I haven't looked into it, but my guess is that portfolio has resources which are more difficult for Logos to discount (because of the publishers).

Welcome [:D]

Scholar's Gold includes my favorite commentary series => UBS New Testament Handbook Series and => UBS Old Testament Handbook Series so upgrading is a better deal than individual purchase. Beyond Scholar's Gold, would look at => Master Library Builder (2,010 vols.) that has been on sale in December past couple years, but do not know if sale repeat planned for this year.

The Master Library Builder includes many resources in Platinum and Portfolio so estimating Scholar's Gold plus Master Library Builder to be ~ 2,900 volumes (about $ 1.33 per volume at regular price). In contrast, Porfolio regular price per volume is $ 2.68 (plus regular price is $ 410 more than Scholar's Gold plus Master Library Builder). For $ 419.95, another option is => Catholic Library Builder (238 vols.) that has several Latin resources plus => Dictionary of Latin Forms is free.

Note: depends on resource usability whether to consider upgrade to Scholar's Platinum or Portfolio if choose to purchase => Master Library Builder (2,010 vols.) Personally had already upgraded to Scholar's Platinum before Master Library Builder became available (so added over 1,500 resources to my library).

Suggest discussing purchase with Logos sales => http://www.logos.com/about/contact (can call or email)

Keep Smiling [:)]
