You may want to think about investing in a Giga Sampler PC rig and leave the
EXS for smaller things. If your going to sketch things out anyway you may as
well use what most film/orchestral composers are using these days and speak
the common language.
Here in Australia the trend is also toward Gigasampler amongst the "pros".
Emagic have clearly shown their intentions with such slow development and
the more modern music culture slant of their products. Gigasampler has now
established itself as the most innovative tool for your type of work.
I'm starting to wonder how good Gigasampler would be with my loop and drum
library, I'm going to have to get a PC rig to stay in the "loop" with all
the other composers around me anyway. In a way Gigasampler has become like
ProTools. Everybody is sharing work and sending their files from one studio
to another and sharing the work load. I did get a number of my friends to
try the EXS but they have all since bought GigaSampler.
Didn't intend to turn your question in to a rant but I think you might be
investing time and effort in to the wrong software.
By the way to bring things more on topic: I think you can "almost" replace a
60 piece orchestra with a combination of real players and samples. I've just
finished 2 projects that did just that. One had 15 players and the other had
10. Both scores were fleshed out with samples. Both those composers were
using EXS and now have Gigasampler.
