Ah, I actually had to hear the box to get what you meant. I got a chance to hear it this week. What stuck me was how much less verb I could use, but it still glued the audio better, and seemed to marry itself into the track more naturally.

I've got the TC 4000 (single engine 6000). It took me about 3 seconds to hear that the Briscasti was on another level. It was on a 2.2 second hall, so technically maybe it only took me .8 seconds to decide
.
I found that one the TC, it sounded great, then switch to M7 and all of the reverb washiness, and artificiallness disapeared, then back to the TC it sounded really fake, and wet.
Then I put it against a Lexicon PCM91, again the PCM is a great sounded box, then when I put up the M7, the tail feels more alive, and there is a new depth and texture in the sound of the hall that makes everything feel more real and alive to me. Tonality-wise it was closer to a Lexicon sound than a TC sound, but as you flip though patches, it does have it's own character.
I mainly use outboard verb for orchestra, so I was really focusing on the "large hall" patches, but I did try out the "delayed plate" which sounded AWESOME on vocals, the "studio" presets were fantastic rooms, and there was an "A&M Chamber" that was pretty kick-ass too.
Well, put it this way, I liked everything that came from the M7 better than my TC4000 and my partners PMC91. Not everything was a clear-cut destructo hands-down winner, it was for all of my go-to patches. What I really liked too was that for the way I work, it fit right in as though I've used it for years. I called up a patch, dailed in the amount, and it sat perfectly. I didn't have to go back and forth, "maybe a db more, no that's too wet, maybe it's not the right patch?" etc. It's gooooood.
