Also I see there is this option:
All Xtra Styles PAK 1 & 2016 49-PAK
For someone who's first purchase was BIAB 2018 does the 49-pak offer anything I don't already have?
Thanks

Mike If you've purchased a 2018 UltraPAK or Audiophile Edition, no need to purchase this older "All Xtra Styles PAK 1 & 2016 49-PAK" as the contents of that 2016 49-PAK are included in the new version.

How can you tell what xtra style paks you have.? You'll find the RealStyles that are included in the Xtra Styles PAKs within the StylePicker window - they list with "Xtra PAK" in the "Set#*" column. The Xtra PAK styles with a "Date" of 2016/07 to 2016/09 are from Xtra Styles PAK 1. The Xtra PAK styles with a "Date" of 2016/10 to 2016/11 are from Xtra Styles PAK 2. The Xtra PAK styles with a "Date" of 2017/06 are from Xtra Styles PAK 3. The Xtra PAK styles with a "Date" of 2017/11 are from Xtra Styles PAK 4. Of course, you can always contact us directly to ask about your order history - we'll let you know what you have! http://www.pgmusic.com/contact.htm

You are probably not aware of this : About two months ago, I have written a post in the wishlist forum in order to get a better/obvious identification of the Xtra PAK numbers in the stylepicker. Many other users agree with my proposal. If this proposal was implemented, you probably did not even ask your question !

mbsmike you will notice no other forum member helped us out just pg music staff. Maybe the unpaid / volunteer forum members were busy helping other forum members? Also, if you're concerned about support levels on this forum, you might like to undertake some statistics: How many replies are from dedicated forum members and how many replies are from PG Music staff? This is a members forum with input from many dedicated folk, selflessly sharing support to others. We are very grateful when PG Music staff step in to offer assistance.

This is somewhat confusing? I purchased the 2017 UltraPlusPAK upgrade in Dec 2016 and recently the 2018 PlusPAK upgrade and XtraStylesPAK 4 (2017/11 in the stylepicker).
I have no other styles from the XtraStyles Paks 1, 2 & 3. Callie indicates that if you purchased Ultrapack 2018 you should have all 4 sets. What is the difference then between the UltraPlusPAK as it was known in 2017 and the 2018 PlusPak upgrade and the UltraPAk?
How can I figure out what I am supposed to have if PG continually change the names of the bundles every year? My brain feels like it has a short circuit trying to figure out what I have vs what I think I should have...)
Assistance would be appreciated, Rgds

royj,
This is another reason forum members (at least me) weren't eager to answer the above questions from beatmaster and mbsmike; we can only verify what we ourselves have received with our purchase paths over the years.
PGMusic can authoritatively answer these questions.. and once they are active in a thread nothing I/we add will be of any more value.
... throw in BonusPak material over the years, some of which was only offered once, and some that were included with the base package the following year and it is indeed confusing.
There's probably a spreadsheet with all this info somewhere <grin>.
Also what Callie said was "as the contents of that 2016 49-PAK are included in the new version".
She said the 49-Pak not XtraStyles pak. She was answering a question directly asked about the 49-Pak.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
