Just installed the trial of Helix Native last night and found the presets to be pretty bad until I used custom IR’s. It pretty much convinced me to stay patient with the AF3 and not consider a Helix. Although I have heard great sounds from it, I’ve heard way more impressive sounds from the stock presets in my AF Ultra and 2 XL +.
You make a good argument for companies to make sure their products ship with great presets. A great first impression will pay off by avoiding unnecessary uncertainty.
