I have played the DTXplorer, both older and newer models and don't like the pads, feel awful for stick response - but they are a very versatile easy to position kit and it comes with decent quality stock sound files (usually). I haven't played the Alexis but I've heard good reviews and they look structurally sound.
Could I please throw into this the Roland HD1? Brilliant kit, good sound files, nice(r) feeling pads better stick response. Not very positionable but they compensate for this with everything else, or thats what I believe. Also, they are more compact than the others and theres usually ones on the Bay pre owned for below your $600 budget. Usually between $400-700 pre-owned.
