My mistake.
If they have managed to emulate the feel of real skins they may even win over some of the electronic kit sceptics. Though I can't really see the need to be able to drop the pads onto a real kit. My wife is a (well out of practice due to day job responsibilities) percussionist/drummer and went electronic partly for the sound variety but largely to cut down on weight, bulk and setup time. Also to be able to get the stage volume down and adjust the volume for different sizes of small venues. One of the big disadvantages of acoustic drums is their minimum volume can still be overwhelming in a room that holds 100-150 people or less, which is what many pub/bar gigs are like.
Individual outs would indeed be useful. Even better would be sufficient outs to provide one (or, better, more) outs to PA and another to a backline amp for monitoring purposes.
