I use this snare drum as a second snare drum for jazz and RnB songs where I need a more electronic or a samba/latin sound. It works for me perfectly for both (totally different) styles. If you add a splash on top of it then the electronic sound is just perfect. For the price you're paying, and if you need any of these sounds, it is a great product. Well constructed, great strong system to put on and off the snares.
The cons: It is obviously not a luxury snare drum (hence the price) but, since you're not using it mainly a snare drum (unless for street gigs, for that ok) the price is fair.
