Their recent product releases have been fire.

Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition
Hollywood Orchestrator
The String Machine
Forbidden Planet

...and now Hollywood Fantasy Strings which came out a few days ago is really great. The Celli, Basses and multi-octave Strings are insane. It's the first release of the new planned Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series and I can't wait. The best part is they'll all be included in the ComposerCloud subscription so no surprises there.

I've heard really good things about the sound quality, but I've also seen the articulation/UI nightmare they are and so have no interest. If you can get past that, it's probably worth it I just couldn't.

Unless you're a professional musician (which I am not), articulations will always be a challenge, whichever library you use. The Orchestrator is great but for pure sound quality, EastWest are bringing it. Looking forward to the Fantasy series coming next, especially the Brass.
