For those who are interested in a good quality GM wavetable take a look at this:
http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=EW-164 I might make the investment!!! In general, the larger the size (MB or GB) of the instruments the higher the quality (no looping, samples at various velocities, release samples, etc.). Yes, and there is more that goes into quality acoustic instrument samples (quality of the audio/recording equipment, effects, quality of the acoustic instruments used for sampling, mics and so on). Also if the engineers and muscians are dead from the belly button both ways then nothing will save the day - the instruments can be large but still sound bad.
In general, you get what you pay for but there are very many good quality soundfonts - for free. That's not a bad deal!!!
