Looks pretty good to me! |

Try making it connect at the same angle and the lower horn. I don't know exactly how to explain, but do you understand what I mean? Like take the same angle that the connection of the lower horn is at, and draw a straight line across the FB at that angle, and thats where the Upper Horn should start.

Personally I would take the great designs you presently have and smooth the body radii a little to make them not just great but superb.
Hey..you asked.
