I have DFH, and Reason, and have heard this refill. It's competent enough I guess, sounds are reasonably good in the 24-bit version. And although I enjoy ReDrum & NnXt there are a few reasons why I prefer DFH-style formats.

1) Working in Reason (for me) means getting out eventually. The only way I get decent sonics out of the software is to render individual tracks out in 24-bit and import them into my DAW. The mixer in Reason does something to the sound that is not good, and that's why I don't reWire as well.

2) I do a lot of live drum tracking and enjoy using DFH with Drumagog. To say it's easy to mult or sample-replace with lots of variation options with these two tools is an understatement. It blows me away every time I use it, not like ze old days (shakey crotchety voice).

3) If I really needed to I could import DFH samples into Reason. Not so easy to put Refills out to multisample matrices.
