No, it's not "more recent versions" that have more sounds, it's the "complete" version that has more sounds. "GPO for Finale" is a limited soundset.

An example: in GPO for Finale, there is only "Violins KS". While in the full GPO, there's 1st Violins KS, and 2nd Violins KS. As a matter of fact, the full version has a complete set of 1st violins with various articulations, as well as a complete matching set of 2nd violins.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
