Try it as a hypothetical. Someone has built two identical rooms in the same facility, and therfore the staff, vibe and acoustics are exactly the same. The only difference is what gear is avalable in each. For the sake of the question, none of your personal stuff will work in either room. I'm sure that you'd (as an individual) make a choice.

As far as what you (AAI) might bring to a session, of course it depends on variables. I never imagined any of the answers in this thread would be anything but generalities.
Yes, I have not booked a room because the gear sucked. But it wasn't because they didn't have one specific piece or three. It's because there was overall suckage.

Man, I'm tagging out of this thread. You're kinda out in left field on this one. It's like saying someone built two identical cars. One is complete except for an engine and the other has the engine but is lacking tires.

WTF?

Ask something that people can answer. Because I can't be only one that's confused.
