If you use the full standalone Kontakt 2 (not Kontakt Player 2),
you get 64 channels of output.
You can preserve CPU resources with K2 as a standalone by using,
for example, only one convolution reverb for all instruments.
Inside Finale, Kontakt can only take 8 of 16 channels of MIDI so
you have to open multiple instances. As you know, lower CPU demands
results in fewer dropouts and distortion.

Not true -- both K2 and K2 Player work as AU plugins, and both allow
16 channels per instance.
I made a mistake about saying that you only get 8 out of 16 channels
per instance when using K2. You do get 16 channels, even though it
shows 64 channels per instance.
But the standalone K2 does actually give you 64 channels, so
depending on your needs, it could be more efficient to go with the
standalone, as opposed to the AU/VST.
But I'm willing to be proved wrong. Let's do some real world testing
and find out which approach uses more system resources the more
channels you add.
