Good tenor sax sound for MIDI guitar?

Hello; I play guitar in a function band and would like some opinions from anyone who uses a MIDI guitar rig for saxophone sounds. I have an *old* Roland GK-2A pickup on a Strat and the *old* Roland GR-09 (blue) guitar synth. The preset sounds itself I found underwhelming, although I liked it better when I layered the preset tenor and the 'overblown' tenor together. If I knew of a good source for the sax sound I would look more seriously at the Godin Tripleplay guitar to use as a guitar/saxophone/synth. (The Godin/Tripleplay, as far as I know, has to go into a PC or Mac instead of a guitar synth.)

Other notes: I can't play jazz; we're talking more King Curtis, Bobby Keys style parts for your Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett covers. Also, I know a lot of what makes the sax sound like the sax is the blowing, vs the guitar's picking; I wonder whether a talkbox tube could be hacked to interact with a guitar synth somehow. Of course talkbox tubes and the resulting spit seem kinda gross to me.

Thanks for any input.
