I don't have the smarts to add up all the numbers really. All I know is that when the drummer is waving at the window and calling "bit of a delay in the cans, mate - can you do something about it please..." then I've got a problem, and I have enough problems to contend with already.

So, yes - HDX better... if you track bands playing and overdubbing ensemble, especially in my experience anyway if it's jazz or classical.

But, no - HDX not better unless you've got the money. It's a huge investment in hardware compared to a native system.
