It's only as good as it's user.

What are your specs. Very steep isn't much of a spec.

Sharp transition FIRs and low number of coeffs don't go together. You might
be able to get *sharper* transitions given a certain number of coeffs using
some creative filter design but if you are looking for an order of magnitude
improvement, you are out of luck.

Multi-rate techniques help achieve a fairly sharp cutoff using oversampling
without putting too much of a computing burden (caused by a high number of
coeffs) but this involves designing multiple filters. There are several
references that you can use to learn about multi-rate filters - I'd start
with http://dspguru.com/info/faqs/mrfaq.htm
