Better *technically* is not the same as better *sonically* - witness the
vinyl versus CD debate that has gone on for two-and-a-half decades now.

The most accurate, cleanest-sounding sampled strings I've ever heard on
their own were off an S6000, but they sounded terrible in a mix.  In
that particular case, we took them off and used the gritty-but-gorgeous
strings off an Ensoniq Mirage...
