Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Has the DTXpress replicated the "feel" of an acoustic drum set to a 
great extent? I know it'll never be quite the same, but is it at 
least rather close? As for getting both acoustic and Edrum, i think i 
might just get a cheap mahagony acoustic set to get the hang of 
things. No, i'm not gonna be working with a band, i just learned to 
enjoy/appreciate drumming.
