However, they ABSOLUTELY change the way you play. It is a whole hell of a lot more difficult to hit hard and fast than it is to hit light and fast (not debatable, its the laws of physics.)

Sorry man, I haven't finished reading your post, and I might 100% agree with the rest of it, but this statement is not only NOT true, it's the complete OPPOSITE of true. It takes FAR MORE muscle control and development to play softly than loudly. This is the laws of BIOLOGY and PHYSICS both. And as an actual drummer, you should damn well know that.

I had an acoustic kit for 5 years, and I could slam the SHIT out of the double bass. When I moved into my condo and switched to e-drums, I had to completely re-learn to play and still am not close to where I was, because using small movements and hitting lightly (to avoid pissing off the neighbors) takes WAY MORE MOTOR SKILL AND MUSCLE CONTROL to do. This is true of any fine motor movement, not just drumming.
