To the extent that one of the common minor gripes about the Avalon sound is that it is a bit thin, I would think they would benefit plenty from the SP 101 platforms, in the form of a more dense, meaty presentation. A more solid foundation, if you will.
As for the non-responsive threadcrapping over who did what when, just consider it one of the hazards of any public forum. Usually if you ignore it then it goes away...but if you go away, the threadcrapper wins by silencing the discussion!
