Seems like a parallel situation to me, and I wonder if there are
significantly better solo string samples. I'm not looking to get
into a war about whose are the best - just curious to know if this
kind of thing has been solved to a greater degree in string samples
than saxophone samples, and I still want to hear musicians playing
the instruments I have come to love.
(Though, sometimes the machine's rhythmic stability is nice :-)

Even Garritan JABB (of which I am a fan and supporter) doesn't do
particularly well with saxophones. They have worked long and hard to
get good samples, but I think we are used to hearing saxophones
played with a higher level of personal nuance and expression on each
note - dynamics, articulations, pitch bends, timbre changes, etc.
(often to wonderful and sometimes to excruciating effect) than any
other instrument, so that when we hear even pretty decent samples
played back without more midi massaging than is remotely practical,
we are disappointed. I don't see how this is likely to improve.
I don't think that's much different than any of the solo strings. I
certainly don't find the demos of the GPO solo strings to be very
compelling at all.
