Dave you are alittle confused on this. Look carefully at the wording in both programs.
In RB it says " re-route MIDI playback to default DXi/VSTi" You check the box and using the drop down choose the DXi/VSTi. All playback will be through this synth.

In BIAB it says "Use VSTi/DXi synth" check this and another menu comes up were you choose the synth for all playback. Pretty much the same as RB.
Now "Route through to MIDI driver" this is the odd one. This ,if checked, will route whatever comes in on the MIDI IN port to the MIDI driver you have selected under MIDI Output Drivers. If not checked it will send the MIDI in to the VSTi/DXi.

It's their use of the word ROUTE that is confusing things.
