Nautilus EXs libraries (e.g., Korg, KApro, Karo): How many will fit?

Below is what I've selected so far. Which orchestral libraries sound best (e.g., KApro, Karo, Kelfar, etc.)? At first-listen, the KApro EXs orchestral expansion-libraries seem to sound best. Are any of the Karo or Kelfar EXs libraries particularly outstanding?

Any idea how many EXs libraries will fit in a single KSC-load?

From another post here, I gathered that after accommodating the system OS, etc., users are left with approximately 55GB of "virtual-memory" (i.e., streaming-storage) on Nautilus' internal 60GB SSD. I've downloaded PCG-Tools (which has been updated to work with Nautilus), which should assist in these tasks but haven't explored its features yet. Any insight or tips on either which libraries to buy (there's so many!), or how to better organize the KSC-file would be much appreciated!

Note: I will note each library's file-size and make annotations to this post for a more accurate estimation of each's memory requirements shortly.

Is very hard to decide but I recommend to check the library first in demo mod then authorise the library as you need.
Notice that will can't load all in the same time due the size of memory also a part of virtual memory is already used by preload. Other think, some library use WS, in the same location with others, will have to remap and organise yourself.
I also use a lot of authorised libraries (23 in my old Kronos), but I don't load them at the same time, depending on what I need. I keep the most important ones in the autoload list and check them as I need to can be loaded.
