I have never managed to find a satisfactory GM soundfont for all
instruments that blends well.. The PC ones were OK but nothing
special. I think the FluidV3 was quite nice, but very heavy and
still not that great for blending..

As far as I remember the PersonalCopy piano sounded dreadful.
Unison was the nicest balanced of them all, but sounds very "midi
computer" style.
