Looking for suggestions for orchestral samples for Kontakt

In particular to replace EWQLSO. Not that the Kontakt library is bad, but some more articulations would be nice. Needs to be reasonably priced, I've found a few thinks that look cool but want like a grand and I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money replacing a $500 library, particularly when said $500 library is the whole orchestra.
 
How I wish EW didn't do their Play crap and I could just get it in Kontakt format :P.

    Hmmmm. Concert Strings Whole Divisions might be doable. $250 isn't too bad. Not quite as big a string section I like (I'm a sucker for massive 70 peice numbers) but looks good overall.

    This with the Kontakt brass, winds and percussion would be quite nice.

    Kirk Hunter strings.  Very cool features, very nice strings/orchestra.

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    Cinesamples Cinestrings maybe out of your price range but it's excellent value at $429
