I can hear the difference and thats what counts.Sure you can play
with the EQ and make it reasonable for some sounds,but unless you
have your own soundman.........
Another reason that I didn't go the MD route for performances was that
I found they had a tendency to skip with relativley little vibration.
A Bose 5000 watt PA at medium to high levels was more than capable
of causing it to skip at the remotes maximum range,wherever I sited
the MD.
This was in the real early days of MD and things may have improved
since then....I know the prices certainly have :-)

Rick
