I, too, have SDS-Vs, SDS-7s and a dismantled SDS-1000. All good stuff that makes any Claptrap seem silly and nearly useless. But, as you say, great for studio use. Very easy to use. Very easy to EQ. The hardest part is deciding how to make it sound because as you sweep frequencies you find many options. I started playing around with the snare drum from Oberheim DX as the trigger and discovered how nicely it sharpens the snare sound. It makes me wish I had used it on every recording I'd made over the last ten years.
As Jesper said: Not a one trick pony.
If you can find the parts in your collection I'd gladly buy one from you.
