I think I'm with you on that. In the studio, Mike Rutherford never made it as a lead guitarist for me while, live, Daryl Stuermer could only ever replicate (and he did that very well). Having seen a couple of Steve Hackett's live shows where he plays a Genesis album in it's entirety - yeah, he was a massive loss and the rot set in when he left.
