MIDI can do hundreds of times more than RTs can. However, MIDI sounds are very dependent on the synth (hardware or software) that you use to generate the sounds.

My advice is to get very good MIDI synths, and then you have the best of both worlds. If the RT works better, use it, if the MIDI tracks works better, use it, and if you need to edit, use the MIDI tracks.

IMHO it's not one or the other, but having both tools in your kit is better than either one.

It's like a mechanic having socket and crescent wrenches in his/her took box. Often one will work when the other will not.
