No problem if each single instrument has it's own sample, which can  
be achieved with ExsManager if you use the "expand" option. Then you  
get a complete set of samples for each instrument. You need much more  
RAM and disc space of course.

According to Andrea's statement EXS handles that issue fine. I have  
not tested it yet but I simply believe him because he has written the  
ExsManager :-)

Btw, I like the concept of RealGuitar which is actually a sample  
player. You can select between 2 and 5 slightly different samples  
which are chosen randomly.

I don't remember an "all violins" setting right now but if you used  
all violins at once, let's say violin 1+2+3 and added violin #2 a  
second time that is the situation which the manual describes as "must  
not". The ensemble settings are for that. I find their sound a bit  
strange but since people make so wonderful tracks with GPO it must be  
a matter of usage.
