I've always have had an aversion to rack synths for some reason. However, lately I havent been using soft synths that much either. It's a lot less taxing to use your own hardware synth and just send the analog audio in (and still have MIDI being recorded on a seperate MIDI track) than to open up a virtual synth and have it limit how many tracks you can have up or how many effects you can use at once. I dunno my keyboard tend to sound very nice going through my mLan as well and like Dan said using a whole bunch of effects or cleaning the sound up a bit is easier and more focused when you're working with hard synths. There's a lot less tendency to just diddle-daddle with a hard synth and get down to business and lay a good track down or set a good sound down.
