Default Orchestral VIs

I'm looking to add an orchestral VI to my PTMP8 arsenal.

I've spent some time using NI Philharmonik (full version), and it's not bad. Though the strings definitely come off as synthy and don't usually sound like actual recorded samples.

Most of what it would be used for is in pop/rock/indierock type of songs. And I know the one limitation to any or all of these orchestral VIs, is they are recording in a classical orchestral type of environment and are suited best for those type of compositions. For example, you're not going to get a nice dry solo cello played in a small to moderate studio room sound from any of them. Or can you?

Those of you who have one or more of these VIs (like Philharmonik, East West Orchestra, etc)... which do you like, and why? Opinions on Philharmonik?

Default Re: Orchestral VIs

I have Vienna Instruments Special Edition, and think it's great. There is a great selection of solo and ensemble instruments, and everything has been recorded dry.
