Edited original post to reflect the shift in focus of this thread to one particular issue:
Looking at getting either SCS or CSS for black friday (SCS will be 25% off so around $500 and CSS will be 20% off so around $320) but had a quick question:
I noticed that both SCS and CSS are recorded "in position". Let's say that I wanted the violins to sit on the right instead ... or for the cellos so sit on the left, etc., if I simply pan them in that fashion will it sound terrible? Am I basically forced to have each section sitting in the same place (panning-wise) where it was originally recorded?
Thanks for your help! (Also please forgive what may be newbie questions. I've been composing for a few years now but am only just getting into the orchestral libs!)

Additional questions originally asked in first version of original post that were subsequently satisfactorily answered and are no longer the focus of this thread:
(2) For SCS, if I get the main library, how important is it to get the expansion as well. It seems that all it really gives you are some additional mic positions ... are these really crucial to getting a great sound? Or should the main lib be enough?
(3) Is CSS capable of producing a "smaller sound" if needed? And is SCS capable of producing a "bigger sound" if needed? Is either one capable of working in the context of an "epic" piece ... or are they both much more well suited to more low-key, emotional work?
