Actually the solo cello that comes with Mixcraft is not all that bad, the biggest weakness being no control over vibrato. However articulations can be mimiced with CC#7 and/or CC#11 automations. Any other decent cello I have runs in Kontakt.

Now that the Sonivox Orchestral Companion Strings VSTi works with Mixcraft again, you could wait until it goes on sale at Plugin Boutique for $10 and snag that.

An old favorite of mine is Cellofan: http://soundkeysvst.free.fr/

32-bit only, but you can't beat the price, free for the downloading.
