Hi,
I'm no expert in this, but the answer really has to do with what you really want. I've just bought the Opus bundle and the Horizon Solo Strings package and I'm absolutely delighted with them all.
The best advice I can give is to look at the product page for each of these packages on this site and examine the articulations etc for each.
Opus 1 give you the potential to simulate a full orchestra - and a very convincing one at that while the Solo Strings will enable you to produce very convincing pieces for Vioin, Viola, Cello and Bass either playing solo or in any combination e.g String Quartet. Each package is superb but they are obviously not interchangeable - hence it depends what you want most.
You could also listen to the demo pieces for each of the packages - That's what finally made me decide to part with my cash.
Just looked at your question again and realised I wasn't specific enough at least in part.. **There are some Solo Strings samples in Opus 1 but obviously very cut down compared with the Solo Strings package. As far as woodwinds go I can't remember offhand what there is in Opus 1 as far as the woodwind is concerened but what I say above still holds - take a look at the articulations pages for each of the products and the answer's there.
Hope that helps a bit.
Best of luck with your choice. [:D]
Regards,
John
