Addictive Drums users... do you split into multiple tracks?

I'm using Addictive Drums quite a bit now.  After considerable experimentation, I really do like the preset sounds more than my efforts to break things apart.  As stated above, there's some great cohesion in the master outs when everything hangs together.
 
Here are several things I am doing that may or may not be of interest. 
 
1. I'm recording onto one combined Midi track all of the kit pieces (or the performance). I'm finding that AD2 captures e-drum inputs from the hi hat and all of the kit pieces really flawlessly. The overall sound really conveys a well-recorded full live kit.  And the presets sound great, along with being intuitive, allowing for slick easy-to-grab tones and moods for the drums.
 
2. When I have what I want, then I can open a new instance of AD2 and paste just the ride in.  I can't get the ride to sound the way I want by adjusting it in one instance. But I can by copying it in to a second instance (when it's by itself) and adjusting the tones / volume etc. to something that suits my ear for appropriate ride level and sound.  (I didn't quite explain what I truly do, which is when I'm recording I record the performance to two AD2 instances, and the second track of Midi I have muted out all sounds but the ride.  That way when recording I can actually hear the frickin' ride).  Either explanation above gives the picture.
 
3. I actually use the same technique to pull the toms, snare, kick into either another instance of AD2 or into Session Drummer 2 or some other kit when I want to flavor up the main tones.  When I do that I am able to isolate those tracks to specific Sonar tracks and can use compression, reverb etc.  So, when doing this from AD2 I'm sending only the specific kit pieces to Sonar tracks, not the Master bus.  Or, if I'm using another drum synth, I can also choose to lower the AD2 tones for those main kit pieces on the main track (if it sounds better) to allow the other tracks to take the forefront.
 
In sum, I don't enjoy using the effect adjustments within AD2. I far prefer to make tonal adjustments with the array of tools available from Sonar or third party effects.  I do really admire the presets (that take advantage of the effects built in to AD2).  For my taste so far, I like to grab a preset and push out the sound to the mix through the Master outs and leave well alone within AD2.  When I want to doctor up the sound, I copy the Midi kit pieces out of the main AD2 track to other tracks and route those to dedicated Sonar tracks where I can doctor them up in Sonar in the FX bin.
 
Also in sum, I find that capturing a live performance in AD2 is really fun and convenient.  That said, if I were not using live performance drums, I would recommend another drum synth like EZ Drummer for putting together a set of loops rather than the loops within AD2 (which aren't bad, but aren't as convenient or obvious as EZ Drummer).
 
I have several of the other options, like BFD3, but recently have taken an extra special liking to the presets and kit sounds of AD2.
