I try and never disagree with anyone's opinion as we are all entitled to one. However, for me, there are plenty of great styles to handle almost anything and I have converted many styles from different boards with EMC. I am not saying they are the live drums but all converted to SD1 and played very well with no tweeking. Also, I emailed EMC and Audya is in the works.

I think you are right in getting all the facts that you can, knowing that there will be different opinions but, as for me, I love the Audya and haven't had a moments trouble.
