East West Hollywood Strings 2: review of their chamber orchestra-sized string ensemble!

As a Composercloud subscriber (as I have been for years; they were the first company I used for virtual instruments!), I had to check out their new Hollywood Strings 2. It's a 21-piece chamber orchestra-sized string orchestra, and (I think) it will bring a dazzling warmth, intensity and intimacy to my scores - what do you think?
