To get a more lush sound (this sounds a bit chamber), how well would this layer with other libraries?

I would layer it with woodwinds & Brass to get the "symphonic" sound
I don't know..I suppose it depends on what we are accustomed to! But I also think that playing with mics and adding a reverb over those sample, you could achieve what you're looking for. Layering is not a bad idea, but I wanted to point out that those are 14 violins if I'm not wrong... no chamber music at all..For sure, but this is still not a very big orchestra.
Naturally there will be many more demos in the next days and weeks, especially now that we have access to a more complete library.
I was asked on the VSL forum if it was possible to listen to The Hatchling without the percussion, so I thought I'd share it here as well:
The Hatchling (with no percussion)
@Critz, no, at 2:48 these couple of notes are not legato patches.

edit: the -as always enchanting- Guy Bacos' piece.
The marcato parts sound outstanding. Is it just a simple marcato patch?!
Also, could you tell us if did you see large differences (improvements) working with a library that for the first time has 8 dynamic layers on long notes?
Thanks Guy.. lovely piece, and the Strings only demo shows it off really well.The marcato section up to 1:10,(staccatos, all accents and repeated fast notes) if we exclude the low tremolos, is all done with the "super staccato" patch. Kind of "out of the box" if you want.
Regarding the dynamics layers, if we take this same section, being able to chose which dynamic matrix is best even for quick changes was very efficient. For the long notes, as you asked, I will be more experimenting this in my next demo, but I can tell you that the loud is louder and soft is softer, so basically, you get a wider range of timbre contrasts. In my middle section, I stayed within the soft and medium dynamic matrix, but had I continued to build up, I would of moved to the strong dynamic matrix and the feeling is that are getting the right string tension without forcing it.
VSL has said, I think, that Synchron Strings I will be around the 200 GB mark, similar to Synchron Percussion I. I don't remember if that includes the extended library.Anyone know how much disk space is needed for the standard library?
Also, when does early-bird pricing end?
I think you used the complete library, so I'd expect about half that for the standard version.I think it's closer to 400GB or 450GB.
