do you always compare apples with oranges?

they are really different..

Totally different things, how can you compare a sampler to a drum synth?!

Both are good in their own way though i never use a sampler i just arrange audio samples, gives me much more flexibility in terms of grouping stuff together, offline processing etc..

actually both are samplers but stylus is loop/pattern oriented while batery is the thing for one shots.

Actually Stylus is a rompler.

and a rompler is a sampler (well, in the meaning of sample playback)

Yeah that's one thing I really haven't found a variety of yet in my research - high quality drum machines, whether they're samplers or another type. Any other suggestions beyond the ones listed above?

Actually, Stylus RMX has thousands upon thousands of 1 shots, or have you never used it properly?

I like Stylus and use it for all of my drums, but I think Battery 3 will also be a good buy. Try them both and see which one you like. I also like the ability of Stylus to re-arrange loops on the fly with it's Chaos Designer, makes for some great improv.
