It's more expensive, but we're worth it, don't you think?

Right now, listening to late Jerry Goldsmith - The Sum of All Fears - his use of synths is really off-putting in a score like this. But I find in all his mid-nineties scores on, little of interest because they all sound and feel the same, depending on the genre.
