EW has reverb. It has the hall ambience. It is wet. The sounds are
sampled with the reflections of the sound in the hall. It won't go away.

So...you are limited.

OTOH the sounds work great in a mix if what you want is the sound of an 
orchestra playing in a hall. Great.

I found some of it a bit limited though, you don't have the consistency 
of the same articulations and dynamics across all instruments (Gold 
version)so I got VSL also.
