I now prefer them to dimension strings, primarily because the multi mic features of the Synchron Player allows for a higher degree of control over the tone.

Currently, I cann't find a better combination than layering Synchron Strings I with Synchronized Dimension Strings.

You may hear of some complaints about the legato.  I found that the issue is largely due to many users, after using the VI series for years, were unable to quickly adjust to the the new dimension articulation switching effectively in the (at the time) new Synchron Player.

In combination with other multi-mic libraries, such as the Big Bang series, Synchron FX Strings, or Synchron Percussion, you get a palet of timbre not available in other libraries, which were typically recorded with only 2 or 3 mic positions.  There is much more "force" ....as if you hear the actual breath of the musicians, the hairs on the bows, in these multi-mic libraries compared to the VI series.

Compared to the Starter Editions, the difference is immense.
