No, Silver does not have all the articulations, only a selection of the most common.
Oddly though, Silver does include a church organ and some choir samples that NONE of the other editions have.
The 16-bit-vs-24-bit differentiation mentioned is correct. You need Platinum to get 24 bit (and Platinum Plus includes both 24 and 16 bit samples, so you can mock it up in 16 for extra firepower and then switch to 24 when it comes to the final bounce).
The big advantage of Platinum over the other two is that there are three mixable mic positions. The others only include one.
For my money, I'd look at Miroslav. I have it (and EWQL) and it's a great starter set. Far less complex than EWQL but also far more stable and has some good core sounds. I often reach for it first when the orchestra isn't the primary "instrument."
The CE version does not include the choral samples, and there may be some other differences. But, there's some good bang-for-your-buck right now as if you buy Miroslav you can have another free IK plug-in when you register - one of AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, AmpliTube Metal, or possibly more usefully if you don't play guitar, T-RackS 3 Standard.
