Hope you've got lots of storage space and money available, then.
A`decent set of orchestral string samples on its own can run to over
10 gigabytes and over a grand in money.

I don't need the world's finest, big collection of strings -- just a few
superlative ones would be fine.

That's your problem right there. The reason the best collections are big
is because they have many layers and many styles of playing which the
smaller sets can't have by definition. The reason they're expensive is
because making a decent sample set is hard, painstaking work. You get
what you pay for, mostly.
