how does IR1 compare to samplitudes room sim?

I love the Room Simulator in 7.2.3 and I was just wondering what makes
the Waves IR2 V2.0 different, it is a little over half the cost of
SAM7. Is it really that much better or does it just offer more tweaking
stuff which would be a waste of money.
Anyways tough to beat SAM when you get so much for 1K

I think I remember that in Samplitude you can only feed the Room Sim a
mono signal, whereas the IR can do true stereo input? But it also
uses more resources.

They are totally different sounding. The Waves is almost brutally
transparent, wheras the samplitude one has a bit warmer sound. The Waves
has a better tail, too when you shorten the impulse.

I use both pretty much equally.

Thanks I will need to take a look into it. so far I am happy with
Samplitudes Room simulator but maybe I will like Waves in a different
fashion, I will talk to the Waves folks and give it a whirl for a few
days.
