Zebra Brass Creation Part 1

I've been looking for a Alto and Tenor Sax so i tried sax lab from linplug but the overall feel i got was not what i was looking for. It felt too much like playing samples so i thought ok i'm never going to get the real thing so why not settle for synthesized brass and give it a try. So far i covered the low and mids but the highs sound way to synthetic and thin. I also need to come up with cool playing styles using aftertouch, velocity and modwheel. If it was only a matter of faking sax in an arrangement it wouldnt have been that hard because other instruments would take away the focus from the actual sound but if i want a sax for solo then its another game. I'm not a brass player so the emulation will stop where i think its good enough for a non-brass-playing guy.

Why do i have the feeling that this is NOT going to be easy heh heh ohh well...

Here is a snippet of the Zebra Brass Part 1 of god knows how many parts it will take to finish:
