Digital Kit Reviews?

anybody out there owns a digital kit (not drum machine) and would like to rate and do a review on it?

heard the DTXtreme is pretty cool~
 
I tried my friend's once (so this may be a little biased). It was a yamaha (forgot the model) and it sounded nice since you can change the sounds and stuff. The drums were ok but the bad thing was the hi-hat. It was unnatural since if you hit it and release at the same time (u know what i mean? to make that close to open hi-hat sound) it still sounds like a closed hi-hat. So it's either open or closed hi-hat sound. Nothing between the two.
 
i own a acoustic set, but tried playing on various electronic set before.

the advantage:
*play anytime you want; like midnight or somethin?
*zero noise pollution; can use headphones
*have all types of drum sound; all types of drum set e.g. funk, jazz, metal...
*zero maintenance; no need to change skin, rusting of drum parts
*built-in music; play with the music
*look cool. and funky.

the disadvantages:
*sound not accurate; for example, accidently hit the side of snare and rimshot produce
*not as realistic as real drums
*expensive; at least a few $k
*cannot upgrade much stuff; new cymbals, new drums
*use electric; :P
*takes up as much space as a real set

just some of the few points i can think of.
