I tend to agree, but superiority has more vectors than just 
integratedness. For instance, I used Guitar Rig at gigs for 18 months 
because it sounded better than anything else in its WEIGHT class (then 
the Axe-FX blew it out of the water).

So true. Software may tilt, but hardware clearly goes "game over" too. 
For example, I turned on my Virus TI2 on Saturday night (not even USB'd 
up) and the display was half dark. A reboot and pfffft. Totally dead.
