What sound sets do you suggest for Sonar Synths?

I had stopped using VST programs awhile back, but now that I have X2a with the full synth's I want to give them another chance without investing into other third party soft-synths. I don't really want to invest much time in programming them either, but the most of the sounds that come with Dimension, Rapture, and Z3ta don't impress me really. I like the lower latency I couldn't match with my old software though.

I want to ask those that use the 3 cakewalk softsynths what sound sets they use that are better than the factory sets? Would like to know if anyone feels  the DSF orchestras, strings, steinway & yamaha piano are worth the price for Dimension - Galbanum for Rapture - and anything that is not house,dubstep, dj for Z3ta?
(Our styles of music include alternative, pop, new age, ambient, jazz fusion mostly.)

    Rapture is the only CW synth that I consistently use but have not purchased many packages for it. There are some free packages for all three synths in the download area of patcharena.com. I just purchased Universal-120 http://fisound.com/product/universal-120/ and like what I have played with so far. From Galbanum I like Piscis http://www.galbanum.com/products/piscis/ If you are looking for presets skip Galbanum Architecture Waveforms Cakewalk Edition.

    I am fairly new to soft-synths, couple of years, but do like Dim Pro and Rapture. Cakewalk has the $20 buck sale going on thru May 31rst. I just picked this up a few days ago and very happy with it. Well worth the $20. It is expanded way beyond piano's. http://www.store.cakewalk...ductid=10-DMEP1.00-20E
