  I don't recommend you start your wind controller journey with very expensive bundle. It takes at least a few weeks to get used to EWI touch keys and typically at least a few months to play quick octave changes.
  
  
  
  If you are not interested in doing tweaking and prefer playing out of the box, I recommend you start with just the internal EWI 5000 instruments for a few weeks and if that goes well buy one SM product of the instrument you are most interested in playing. All SM instruments work well with EWI out of box if your music setup is good, but you need to play your EWI differently for each one to get it to sound really good. Once you mastered the EWI keys and one SM instrument , buying a bundle would make sense to me.

  I guess it depends on what sounds you're most likely to use i.e. if you don't plan on playing Double Reeds then there's not much point buying the complete woodwind bundle. I'd work out what you're most likely to want and then plan your purchases that way i.e. bundles or separate instruments.
