"EXCELLENT" sound and "modestly priced" -- not to mention "free" -- are likely to prove to be mutually exclusive terms.

At the moment, great sounds cost money, give or take the amount of subjectivity involved with whether or not someone likes a certain MIDI synth.

If you want very good MIDI sound, the Ketron SD2, sold by pgmusic, is a VERY good choice, it is a hardware synth, so it features zero latency among other things.
