It's like a great performer or band with a mediocre sound system. They'd still sound great. Give them a better sound system they'd sound like a great performer or band w/a better sound system. that's all.

Take a mediocre band, they'll sound mediocre no matter how great the sound system is. They may as well save their money, nothing is going to make them sound great. But those are exactly the performers that are always concerned about upgrading their equipment.
Great players: not so much.

So the Audya drums sound more live, ok. The arrangements are mediocre, at least the ones on these samples. Would the Korg arrangements sound even better with a more live drum sound? sure. But they sound great with the less live drum sound. The Audya arrangements here sound uninspired. So the
more live drums, the more individuated mic-ing effect: comparatively meaningless.

Any old-timer in the engineering business can tell you this: the better the technology has gotten, the worse the music has gotten.
It's almost a corollary. Sad but true.
