Yes Sir...FXpansion have done themselves no favours by switching BFD to 20 bit D/L only files... WTF are they thinking ? It's a great library and to down sample it to save a little bandwidth is disgusting... All of my BFD files are 24 bit... And there's 246 GB of them 
Sorry - I don't use Autotune :)

4bits is only two shaves and two haircuts. How bad can it be?

We all look different with a shave and a haircut :) They only did it to save bandwidth and if it didn't save them $$$ - why did they do it ? When you have such a great sounding library recorded in a world class studio @ 24 bit,why wouldn't any user want that version in preference to one that has been watered down ? I'm happy that I have the 24 bit files,but I feel sorry for the guys who have to settle for the diluted drums

I urge anyone to load up & record 2 BFD sessions - one @ 16 bit and another @ 24 bit Now tell us if you can hear any difference? If you can then either: - you have EXCEPTIONAL hearing
- there are inconsistencies in your 2 sessions
- you're hearing placebo effect
- you're lying

I CAN hear the difference between 24 and 16 bit... It's in the detail and yes - I have excellent hearing... And I'm not lying

I don't know about using the difference sample rates in BDF, but in final mixes or masters between 16b + 24b they're are noticeable. Slight as they may be & it is in the details.
Depends on the material too, classical vs rock / reverb tails, clarity, high end squish.
Same with 320mp3 vs 16b wav, others will argue over 24k vs 96k.
Whether or not a casual listener can tell or care is a different story. I can stand listening to 192 mp3's but compare one to a 320 mp3, then compare a 320mp3 to 24b wav. Your ear should hear the difference.
Same with dithering, I prefer Tri or Pow-1 over Powr-3. It's very slight but to me there's a difference, the details- verb/ high-end.
Again, in the scheme of things when it's well mixed & mastered will it matter or hinder the listening experience? probably not.
