Oh, and one more thing. Sounds like you were already pondering it, but if you've got the bits to get a full section-by-section setup, do it! While a simplified setup with "high strings", "low strings", "high brass", "low brass", and so on may be easier to jam and perform live with, a piecemeal setup will truly unlock the composer within you. I'm not saying you need e.g. 16 discrete tracks for first violins, but if you've got things set up roughly the way they are on a classical score, you've pretty much got every imaginable tone color at your fingertips.
