That's pretty much what every drummer i talked with said, PorkPie. They all preferred playing acoustic sets over even the nicer electronic ones. However, most of them admitted that it takes a lot of musicianship and stick control to play well softly. Lots more people can do pretty well when wailing away at a forte or above, but it's a challenge to maintain a groove at an mp or softer level.
Like the tip on the cymbals!
We bought the Rolands because our drummers are just getting started, and are learning from rock drummers who play most everything at "11." With the V-drums, they can blast away at their best, and the guy at the mixer can adjust accordingly. It's a compromise, of course, but it works.
