I agree. +1

Random thoughts:

The decent (at the time) Roland VSC synth that PG Music used to use was 32-bit only.

Note that the Coyote that ships with BIAB now is not the Coyote Forte, which was acceptable sound at the time, but instead (as I understand it) is just a wrapper to give you the built-in Microsoft sounds. And yes, those are truly terrible for BIAB.

Peter Gannon a few years ago was recommending people get the free Cakewalk by Bandlab because it came with the TTS MIDI synth.

And I do understand the value of good sound. I changed music notation program last year mostly because the current one came with a sound set of the London Symphony Orchestra. This made anything I did in my old notation sound like a tin can by comparison.
