I'm not too happy with the SN-A tones despite their modeling technology. Listening to the Clarinet in the example, especially the vibrato I hear is uninspiring to me. I think, a dynamic development of a tone including a real sampled vibrato is very important, and this modeling technology that only uses rather small, short samples and then "calculates" the rest of the tone doesn't really come to very lively results IMO... Some movements of the trumpet really sound outstanding, but then as soon as the tone is longer, it is getting sterile somehow.
