Thanx for kind words Matt but I do not use any VSTis in BiaB. Plus what I might choose for a sound someone else might not like.

However I suggest if one wants better GM sounds the one should get a good soundfont player, a good GM soundfont (SF2) and a soundfont editor. The editor is an option but when I was using SF2s I created various soundfonts for different genres. I had one for orchestras, one for jazz, one for rock, etc. Note the soundfont player must be one that allows all 128 GM slots to be used and one that allows all 16 MIDI channels. Google/Bing should provide paths to said SF2 info.

I hope this helps.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
