The conversion software's are niche experts at what they do, whereas any 
sampler company is busy doing their sampler engine and other things, and 
don't have the proper time to commit to do the job as well.

The only downside is $$$, but the upsides are better conversions almost 
always. In particular, you can choose where your samples go, while the EXS 
forces you to put them in a hard-coded place.
