My comments in part are driven by a comment Cliff made not too long ago about the Fender Twin (or it could have been the Deluxe) where when someone complained about the Axe model he went back to the reference amp and said that the Axe and the amp essentially sounded the same. If that is the case for the other amps too then the current amps in theThere are many types of improvements that take place with fw updates. Effects improvements, new effects, parameter adjustments, new parameters, improved cab modeling, and yes... improvements to the modeling of the pre and power amps themselves, which are still models and are consistently updated to get closer to the sound of an amp ... But that's the nature of this game. You can't simultaneously have improvements to FW (with stable releases), and have access to deep parameters you might find useful, and not have to dick with them should you choose to update.
Axe are done. No need to have the sound change radically, add more advanced parameters that will radically change next time around etc. Let's move on to effects, new (bass?) amps etc. Again (a seemingly necessary disclaimer here), this all just my own personal opinion.
