Fairlight-CMI

Well, I wonder:

We all know how older CMIs sound, but what about Series III?

I mean, everybody marvels at its sound abilitles and quality, 
but actually, except two choir (In "Paranoimia" (AON) and "Eldorado"
(Jarre) examples and bunch of common to all CMIs sounds, I find it
hard to spot anything unique around.

In an article I read waaay back, was mentioned that it has excellent
strings sound: how true is this, are the samples really that good, or
Synclavier beats it?

Anything more? Can anyone tell any unique sounds, maybe with providing
a short example?
