(the stretch feature really helps here)
I've been finding that the new envelope abilities within VI Pro 2.0 will forever be a necessity for everything I do. I've practically built my entire template around this one feature. It allows for controlling so much of what a real performance would include. Legato speed, Staccato length, vibrato amount, and effects. I've used it to ritard and accelerate the bpm fast-rep patches, trills, and so on. So not only does this allow for more realistic bowings and mouthings, but even the sustained performance itself.
While I've seemingly pushed an even more side topic here, I'd suggest that this feature simply serves to establish the VSL library as truly set apart from the others. (which is at least more on topic than this point initially seems). Either way, I think the time stretching abilities alone set VSL apart not merely in style or preference, but in it's ever expansive capabilities. My Time Stretch Cache folder is currently 200GB in size and I haven't even finished my template. And I'm not going overboard for the sake of being arbitrary. I've actually been adjusting the instruments for the sake of having a truly flexible template.
That's a lot to say about a rather small sub-point you brought up. But I could not help but speak out for how true your statement really is, in my opinion.
