EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I'm thinking of purchasing the EXS24 to use primarily as a drum 
sample player. Is it good for this purpose or is it more suited to 
playing sampled keymapped instruments? Can the individual hits of a 
drum kit be fed to separate effects ie different reverb for snare and 
different EQ for snare/kick etc, or would this require a separate 
EXS24 instrument for each part of the kit?
Has anyone compared it to the Koblo gamma 9000 for drums or the Unity 
sampler? How does it rate? I would appreciate some feedback from 
someone who has used it for this purpose.
TIA
