If you are a pro lead player, you have a specific function. Your sound is the leading edge of every brass attack. It has to complement the section first and distinguish the player second. I think ANY of the great players mentioned would do whatever they needed to to make the section sound correct. I do not think that any of them were so inflexible that they could be "categorized" as laser or sumo lips.
