I did in fact try a flute on the main theme reprise at 4:58 But I didn't find one that I liked and decided to press on rather than trying out two dozen solo flutes. But yes, things like that can probably work very well. There was a discussion on here about combining a metal band with orchestra and I think the overall consensus was that it's problematic -- at least if you intend to have the two things playing at the same time. For slower interludes when drums, bass and distorted guitars aren't present however, there's no reason not to bring in the entire orchestra.
