This could be a matter of debate and taste and I'd say the perfect EG 
would offer both the zap+restart and the restart-on-top features. 
Similarly, the latter should allow for the attack to rise relative to 
the previous level so that repeated trigger produces successively 
louder notes. BTW did anyone design an EG that allows to "latch" the 
output from release phase when sustain is pressed? Surprisingly few 
electronic pianos get this right, even though they really should model 
that correctly.
