    Yeah .. it's quite a difference .. the Appasionatas are a thicker sound and one can really build very epic melodies with them .. also they are great for romantic themes. Nothing wrong with the orchestral strings of course .. but I've been using the App. Strings from the VI - SE and I love em. I'd so like to get the whole package and I think that I would only tend to use the App. Strings for my projects as they are more like the hollywood orchestra sound.

    Regarding the use of the two libraries.

    I use appasionata+solo or chamber as the 1st violins and Orch. strings + solo or chamber as my 2nd violins.

    Also the Orch. strings have a larger degre of short notes. The staccatos sound very different from those in App. strings.

    I would say that you have to get Orchestras Strings, becuase when you run out of Appassionata articulations, the Chamber ones won't "sit" well on their own. Personally I use all three, and sometimes a sprinkling of Solo Strings as well.
