   I'm sure that's a preference thing.

   It's a compromise.

   I'd have to "A/B" them and hear for myself.

   My Soulmate transports his acoustic drum kit in a pickup truck.

   My church is anything but big, and we've got a complete acoustic drum kit   
   that's always set up, and a baby grand acoustic piano, which I sometimes   
   play, and a parlor grand acoustic piano, which I usually play, and two   
   organs, not Hammond unfortunately...and we've got plenty of room.

   This is about Musical Instruments! ;)

   Sort of like me using my Casio CDP-130 digital piano instead of a Steinway   
   D-274 9' concert grand - easier to carry the 23.8 lb Casio up the stairs ;)
