To me Scandi-strings is just a sound, like fuzz guitar, old west saloon piano or Paul Desmond. I'm just tired of hearing it as a droning and endless minor chord.

I bought BDT for it's burbling, re-bowed (and re-blown) oddness. It was a VERY rare, quick impulse buy for me.
I've used it on two tracks and can see using it for more, but it's basically a one trick pony. They seem to be going for more with this collection, but to my ears they haven't gotten there yet. Sticking with SCS for now.

The VSL Orchestral Strings have long and short detaches, similar with Staccatos, and in some cases also Ports.

Yes, but detaché needs to be sampled like a legato, even though it isn't.
