I don't give online demos much weight because I know that most often the instrument rarely sounds the same in person, sometimes better, often times much worse. Also, there are so many variables with online demos i.e. the players skill or lack therefore, poor audio gear used to track the demo, and most often use of MP3's which in my opinion truly suck. Perhaps an MP3 file is good enough for DIKI to determine the true audio quality of an instrument but I for one would never pass judgment simply based upon an MP3.
