If the Budapest haven't put you off historical records entirely, the Busch Quartet (4CDs on EMI) are excellent, with the late quartets as you requested as well as a few other gems. I'll leave detailed descriptions to others on the list with more experience with them than I have. Has anyone heard the Lener Quartet in this repetoire? EMI Japan released a set late 97 / early 98.
