BTW outside of analogue synths i go straight to the soft ones as the digital workstations stuff, like the triton & motif, never really blew me away.
i agreed wholeheartedly and was totally anti rompler but then I checked out the XS, and it sounds so nice for acoustic instruments I picked one up and I now find it a very valuable part of the workflow...

regarding the age old question of soft vs hard, there is no doubt that soft can sound perfectly good, I just think hardware is more enjoyable and intuitive to use and thats why I went down that route.... I still use battery for drums and kontakt for samples though, when you are talking about soft stuff its all in the processing. Generally hardware sounds better straight away, which just makes life easier. at the end of the day, a good producer could make something good with either.
