I do. I just got Trillian yesterday and have been playing with it non- 
stop. If you watch those videos, you'll see how it deals with those  
issues. It's VERY realistic. The velocities are set so close, and  
they use a round robin system for noises, (string noises, fret buzz,  
etc) so even playing staccato every note sounds a little different.
Or you can set gliss, x notes, slide, vibrato, staccato, fret buzz  
and string noise samples to different pedals. I have them set up to a  
bank on an fcb. Hard to explain, but its all in those demos.
The Chapman stick is crazy good too.

I also use Omnisphere layered with an acoustic guitar. It has all  
these beautiful bowed and ebowed samples that sound astoundingly good  
with an acoustic instrument. The tracking flaws of the axon actually  
are a strength with these sounds. It adds randomness that really  
benefits the patches.
I'll try to post video. I'm really bad at that, but I'm learning.
