Well, I did a limited A/B of the Rumour and KSP and, even while the Rumour was connected via the analogue I/O and the KSP digitally, we could not detect which was which using the same presets.
On another blind test with a Rumour, PCM90 and M3000 the Rumour plates came out favourably, while the M3000 had the best room programs (to 3 listeners). We did prefer the halls of the PCM90. I got me an M3000 and Rumour and that's all the reverb I need in the rockmusic I generally work on...
A usual approach for me would be:
Kurzweil plate for vocals
M3000 small room for drums
M3000 any preset that fits a special feature in the song or to set a combination for the leadvocal: f.e. dark room in the chorus, rumour plate in vers.
I tend to use plates with a 50-100ms predelay to get some space and decay to vocals. The rooms are generally used to create depth by sending stuff to the back.
Most of the time I try the reverb to be unnoticed.
