Well, to each his own...I think the SA/SA2 voices are incredibly expressive, considering they are played from a keyboardd and, of course, like any other feature, it depends on how the player uses them.

I haven't heard anything close to SA/SA2 Saxes on another arranger...well, perhaps the Korg DNC Sax, but again, it depends on the player.

I'm more interested in my listener at least identifying the instrument I'm playing is a Sax, rather than try to perfectly emulate a Sax, which, to be frank, is really only achievable with a Breath Controller.

Certainly recording the Sax track afterwards would be far better, which is what I sometimes do when making a Cd, but, I can also live with the limitations of playing it in style mode live.
