Greetings fellow media-musicians :)
My work thus far has only skirted around the fringes of the orchestral sound, such that I've been able to get away with the Komplete library. The Kontakt factory VSL stuff is not too bad, and Session Strings has some nice sounding patches also. They've done the job thus far!
But now it looks as if an upcoming project might force me to finally delve into that realm a bit more deeply, and I'm not sure which libraries to go with. There are a few that come very highly recommended, but I'm reading comments about some of them which seem to suggest they require a lot of editing & layering to get the best results from. That's well and good, but I'm looking to score a large number of animated TV episodes on a VERY tight turnaround, so I'm really hoping for something that'll let me play in broad strokes as efficiently as possible. I'm reasonably adept at the keyboard, I don't need to generate sheets for live players, & I don't need to fool the purists into thinking I recorded a live orchestra. I just want something that sounds "pretty damn good" to a layperson and will let me flesh out a broad-strokes score as fast as possible.
Something like Garritan's Instant Orchestra would be fantastic, but the audio demos aren't setting my heart alight - very synthy sounding. Is there an equivalent that's a notch or two up the quality ladder?
Thanks folks :)

Good orchestral library for fast "broad strokes" work?
