It really depends. It goes library to library. Mostly, though, I don't see 
SF versions sold alongside Akai versions of libraries and having them 
priced differently. I suppose if that was the case, most of the time I'd 
get the SF library - I suppose you are right. SF's handle about the same 
range of parameters as Akai ones - Akai's usually only have a lowpass 
filter, same with SF.
