I think this saxophone issue is an example of how a sample can sound bad even if there is nothing unrealistic about the sound itself. The Integra sax does sound like a real sax if it is blown in a certain way, but that's not enough to make it sound good in a sequence. The MoXF sax may have been sampled from a sax player who might just have a nicer lipping and incorporates a natural vibrato in the sample. The Integra SN-A brass and sax tones don't have a sampled vibrato, the vibrato is produced by the behavior modeling, which has the advantage that its intensity can be controlled, BUT it never sounds as realistic as a sampled vibrato - that's one reason why I am more enthusiastic about the (older) Integra SRX expansions than about the SN-A tones. (But SRX expansions don't contain many noteworthy solo sounds, they are strong on orchestral sections etc.)
