extensive sound library expression maps vs. just using Note Performer (opinions sought!)

Perhaps another relevant question is: do your clients find NotePerformer’s output good enough? If so, then I’d do everything in Dorico because it cuts out the need to use an actual DAW. Dorico 3.5 has CC editing, it’s true, but only one lane is visible in a play window at a time. Logic is more flexible in this regard.
