I don't agree that Korg styles are unexciting ... in fact, I think they border on "too" busy lots of times. I prefer generic beats so I can use fewer patterns to cover more songs. In a live situation, a drummer will play a standard 8 beat the same on many different songs, with only minor modifications to fit each particular song. This is what I like in an automatic version. Believe me, if the samples in the Pro-E (cymbals, specifically) sounded as good as modern day gear, I'd still own one.
