The U67 is typically a lot BIGGER sounding than a SM 58 or a Neumann U87. The big thing with a saxaphone is making sure it isn't harsh or shrill. In this price range, there are quite a few good mics. If I were you, I'd start out with a Kel HM-1. They are only $100 and have been getting GREAT praise in the big boy recording world because they are the only cheap mic that doesn't have a stupid high end boost.

I hear the AT 4040 is really good. I have an AT 4050 that may do well on sax, but it would depend on the desired tone. The AT 4050 can get a little harsh / shrill on the wrong source.
