I'm after a tight, big band sound and will be double tracking. I'd have used the SM7 on the most strident instrument (trumpet) and the 4050 on the most complex (sax) but I will try your suggested setup first.
I also like the 4050 as a good all rounder although I don't consider it a "character" mic which is probably a good thing in a workhorse...

Interestingly I came across this thread late, and read Williams post, I thought his advice was the most sound, it seems our original poster agreed as he ended up doing almost exactly that (albeit with a borrowed TLM103).
