If you think that possibly the "playing" sounds can be better than you've either not heard a good VST or you need to get your hearing checked or you need to buy a better monitoring system. Play back any East West Symphonic sound on the Mediastation and then try and find one closed arranger or workstation that has a sound even close. It simply isn't going to happen.
