I like mucking and playing with different sounds. SD 2 certainly is far more tweakable, has built in effects etc, if you don't want to rely on your host to do as much. You could always get grooves from people like groove monkey, etc. As for midi, SD 2 has the edge, although new grooves are promised for SSD. As this plug in is new, it still needs a bunch of work to be as complete as SSD or BFD etc. The new deluxe kits are much more natural sounding than the 3.5 SSD version. If you are looking for variety in one spot, SSD is good. With SSD 4 platinum you get 100 mixed kit presets in various styles. Additional kits range from 40 dollars ish for EZX expansions to 100 plus for SDX expansions. Superior is certainly more polished, but you will get one kit, Avatar, with SD 2.x.
