I like my Export kit. It looks good, sounds great, and serves the purpose for what it was bought for. I always wanted a set of Pearls or Tamas cause when I was a kid they were the most popular brands so I bought the export. To be real though I haven't ever played on a professional grade kit so I wouldn't know the difference at this point. But I did see a dw kit on here that made me have feelings for an inanimate oject that I am pretty sure is wrong.
