Ian,
I like it all. On some music I want those drums to be very clear and a little louder in the mix...for others, I want them a little subdued...background like.

So, my peference is to have very clear real sonding drums and percussion using top notch samples and effects...but, then I can control the loudness as I like while playing. All arraners can adj. the volume of parts...but the clarity has to be there.

If you listen to the current workstaions from Yamaha, Korg, Kurzweil etc. the samples are superb. I think they could do lots better on the samples for arrangers, in general. On synthes...sound is everything.

One of the things I heard is the T4 drums will be greatly improved...if that is true..then someone else agrees with some of us that improvement was needed/dsired.
