«  surely better elsewhere ... »

The pros:

set the correct sounds
pads toms / snare / bass drum relativements accessible and dynamic
structure appears solid for a drummer like me old school but DOES NOT HANG with a drummer "metal" as my 18 year old son ... (Hence, divergent views on the question!)

the -:

cymbal pads / charley fragile, sluggish (even with a curve 1) replaced the old pads still simons ok! (20 + years)
cymbals intersect all alone even before the end, go right or left
charley too "on / off" for my taste + other problems ...
the buggy and unresolved DM5 module do not like too much the "ghosts" with both hands and freezes?!
strength to the test with a drummer called "metal" ...

Not tried other batteries of the same budget, just a Roland price jalopy ... but nothing!

I would do this choice? .. not sure!
