Axe-Fx III tone/feel vs. Kemper?

"feel" is describing how the dynamics can sag and push/pull based on what you play...the MASTER VOLUME and where it's set at determines 'feel'....if a Kemper profile was made with the amp master high enough to be pushing the power section into some sag territory, and the AFX3 using a preset with the same amp, but the master volume not high enough to be doing any sagging, the Kemper would sound to have more "feel" than the AFX3. If you find the sweet spot on the AFX3 master volume, it will sound/feel better than a recording setup of the actual amp...plus you can noodle with the internals in real time (Xformer, bias, preamp, etc etc)...can't beat it, just have to wrap your head around wtf to do with the bazzillion knobs first...:oops:
 
I think perhaps both platforms, with quality presets / profiles, have reached a point of maturity where the question is how they could be better without having to enter totally subjective aspects. Tone and feel may not be the question anymore, IMHO, but routing, life cycle, TCO...
