    For me personally, these presets were overpriced and ultimately not very useable. I would not recommend these at their current pricing of about 40usd. At 15usd I believe they become worth it. Many of the presets are quite similar and thus it's a bit misleading to suggest you get 42 presets, closer to 30. Just my two cents though.
