Much the same which is why I did not wish to buy into it.
It works, it sounds good. As for whether A is better than B is better than C is worse than D, that's a no win argument and for me, worth avoiding losing one minute of energy.

 

Another comparison of the Gforce Prophet-5 emulation, this time to Acustica Audio Prophet emulation

To me they sound bit different in the video, especially the resonance.

Fair points for sure. It's probably not worth the extra effort for a sane market conscious developer, and for most of the end users. However there have been some sample accurate plug-ins developed, like the Relab reverbs and some others. So there are some crazy ones out there! And those developers seem to do fine in their niche, if you can call it that.
