sampling a tron

Hi folks,
    I have sampled both my racks for use in my NYC studio when I don't have time to take a project home to work on it.  All my samples are at 16/48. I wouldn't think of going below that as my own listening tests found lots of tightness in the low end missing and transparency in the high end missing when heard at 16/22.5.   While at first listen, the classic sounds seem to sound o.k. at 22.5, they don't come out of a mix so well.  Stay with as high a sample rate as possible.  Your sounds will pop out of the mix  more easily.  In general I find 22.5 a huge compromise as a sample rate. That's my two cents.  (aren't I cheap?)
