I think you *would* notice the difference.  I have both and love both.  
but the MD has
a MUCH larger sonic pallete and due to the sequencer is capable of so 
much
more, not to mention the fact that it's hardware and you can interact 
with it
much better than you could using uTonic and a MIDI controller.  that 
said, uTonic
is *well* worth the money and I'm very happy that I own it.  it's miles 
short of
being a replacement for the MD, but for simple drum synthesis its quite
an excellent buy.  I often use uTonic when sketching out tracks, but 
then go
to the MD when I want to get serious about my drum tones; there's just 
so much
more there...

just my $.02 :-)
