I keep seeing ads for Spitfire Labs but here's the reason I won't be buying:

There are PLENTY of other software companies out there who don't support hate. I would recommend #ShoutAudio as a starter :

#SpitfireAudio 's #BBCSymphonyOrchestraDiscover is now free, and I tested it earlier this month. I worked the sound a bit, attempted a retro-smooth Ormandy/Philadelphia style.

Cons:
- No legato patches
- No mutes
- No round robin
- Limited dynamics
- One mic pos.

Pros:
- The programming and mic is excellent!
- Instantly decent sound – incredible for 200MB
- Possibly my new favourite tool for sketching out orchestral ideas quickly
