yep, the sound is the real deal, i used to work with a Mackie LM32 and Novation Drumstation, Juno 106 JP8080, Korg Z1 and NordLead1 with a TL audio 5052 on the master bus. But sold it al a good few years back. You can imagine i was quite dissapointed when listering to my new DAW with only softsynths and no other outboard gear than my Lexicon MX200. The Duende was for me the thing that gave me back the analoque character and then some
It sounds awesome and a mild Stereo bus compressor is now always on the main insert of my projects. It just shaves off the digital edge.
biggest advantage is that you will have immediate results with drums. You can take (nearly) any kit, EQ and compress i via the channel strip and it sounds phat. But then again, i've never worked with sample packs (or Nexus tyope romplers) since i don't like precompressed, pre EQ'ed ready to go sample packs, they sound too FL'ish for me.
Anyway, have been playing with drawing volume curves last night on a controller track and now have created 3 volume templates with different "attack and decay characteristics" (read width and steepness of the curve  ) to be used on whatever i want to "sidechain" with the kick. Using this together with the EQ sidechain on the Duende channelstrip (on the frequency of the kickdrum, this emphazises the feel a bit more) i get the effect i want.
